OpenHIE Capacity Building Mission

To create and/or share global goods that are focused on increasing the capacity to build and support standards-based health information exchange architecture and processes.

• Support the development of technical competency for technologists, eHealth advisors, decision makers and MOH personnel
• Through open and collaborative processes that result in the creation of learning pathways through global goods:
