ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

In this case series, we demonstrate how open-source software has been widely adopted as the primary health information system in many low- and middle-income countries, and for government-developed applications in high-income settings. We discuss the concept of Digital Global Goods and how the general approach of releasing software developed through public funding under open-source licences could improve the delivery of healthcare in all settings through increased transparency and collaboration as well as financial efficiency.
