Eswatini is transforming community healthcare, one household at a time. 🏡

The Community-Based Health Information System (CBHIS) puts real-time, data-driven care directly in the hands of Community Health Workers, reaching families even in the most rural corners of the country.

From registration to personalised care, CBHIS ensures no household is left behind.

A proud initiative by the Ministry of Health, Rural Health Motivation Program , and the HMIS Unit.

Times of Eswatini today:

In the words of Honorable Minister Mduduzi Matsebula: "This digital transformation is one of the most important reforms in the public health sector." The Ministry of Health managed CMIS and eLMIS systems are now live across most hospitals, health centres, and high-volume clinics.

Together, these systems are eliminating drug stock-outs, reducing medicine expiries, and ensuring every emaSwati receives the right care — backed by real-time data, every step of the way.

As part of her week-long mission to Eswatini, Julianna Kohler, Grants Officer Representative from the U.S. State Department, visited Piggs Peak Government Hospital to gain firsthand insight into service delivery on the ground.

Piggs Peak holds strategic importance as the pilot site for the Client Management Information System (CMIS) inpatient module, a key component of Eswatini’s digital health transformation.

During the engagement, clinicians shared positive feedback on CMIS, highlighting improvements in workflow efficiency, data accuracy, and service delivery. Dr. Brian, a senior physician at the facility, emphasized how real-time access to comprehensive patient histories strengthens continuity of care, reducing reliance on patient recall and minimizing information gaps. He also noted how digitization eliminates challenges associated with illegible handwriting and improves reporting accuracy.

Through the Ministry of Health, the Health Management Information System (HMIS), and with technical support from the Data.FI Project, a global U.S. State Department funded mechanism, Eswatini continues to advance integrated digital systems that enhance both service provider experience and patient outcomes.

This is what digital health transformation looks like — practical, secure, and patient-centered.

The Client Management Information System (CMIS) is the Government of Eswatini’s centralized electronic medical record system, designed to ensure that patient information is captured in real time, at the point of care.

No more lost medical cards.
No more fragmented records.
No more unnecessary paperwork.

With CMIS:
✔️ Clinicians access complete patient histories instantly
✔️ Records are securely stored and accessible nationwide
✔️ Biometric registration supports emergency care
✔️ Data is protected through secure authentication systems

Currently deployed in 72% of health facilities nationally, CMIS is strengthening service delivery, improving efficiency, and supporting better decision-making across the health sector.
