HISP is the acronym for the Health Information
Systems Programme, which aims to support the improvement of
health care systems in the southern hemisphere by increasing
the capacity of health care workers to make decisions based
on accurate information. HISP provides training and support
for users of the open source District Health Information System
(DHIS) software, which is under continuous development.
The project started in post-apartheid South
Africa, and has been introduced in a number of countries in
Africa and Asia.
