The Sindh health department has announced plans to put a smartphone-based health application, Tibbi, in every public health facility in the province.
The initiative will replace prevailing paper-based systems and will see health workers collect real-time data about the use of health services and the performance of all health delivery points. The announcement was made by Sindh Health Secretary Dr Fazlullah Pechuho during a workshop at Aga Khan University while discussing steps to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of the province’s immunization services.
“We are launching the Tibbi initiative to enhance the monitoring of the performance of government health staff across the province,” said Dr Pechuho. “The system will integrate data about preventive health programmes, patient referrals and health facility performance to give us an immediate assessment of the province’s health system.”
The technology underpinning the Teeko app was transferred at no cost to the Sindh government and has been adapted into Tibbi, as part of the Sindh government’s health system reforms.
The
Teeko app was one of the immunization governance innovations introduced by the Aga Khan University's Dr Shehla Zaidi and Saleem Sayani over 2014-16 in partnership with the Sindh government and the Aga Khan Development Network's e-Health Resource Centre.
