Community Health Systems at National Scale
An affordable, configurable, and scalable model for governments’ digital community health systems, run by the people who deliver care.
Digitized community health, better community health
Around the world, more governments are using electronic community health information systems (eCHIS) to support their community health programs. When well designed and deployed, research shows these systems improve care.
Recognized as core community health infrastructure by the Community Health Impact Coalition, the Global Fund, and the World Health Organization.

An affordable eCHIS offering for governments
What the offering includes
The CommCare eCHIS delivers national-scale performance for $60,000 a year, a fraction of the traditional $1 million cost, so ministries can run, adapt, and expand their systems on their own terms.
A far more affordable price frees governments from expensive custom contracts and gives them a sustainable path to scale.

Ready-to-go templates
eCHIS templates, dashboards, and step-by-step setup guides support adoption.
No-code management
Government teams create and adjust workflows directly, with no outside support.
One consolidated system
Custom eCHIS code migrates into the CommCare platform for one supported system.
CommCare guarantees government data ownership. Host in the cloud for scale, while keeping full control through local export and storage options.
Full data ownership
All data is owned and managed directly by the government.
In-country storage options
Choose full cloud hosting, or store data permanently in-country on a designated server using the Data Export Tool.
