In June 2021, Bluesquare started a project to implement openIMIS in Niger with funding from the Belgian Development Agency Enabel. The project aims to set up openIMIS for a health insurance scheme in two districts, Gaya and Gothèye. A first version of openIMIS was deployed under the legacy architecture and most of the information necessary for adapting it to the Nigerien context has been uploaded (products, list of health facilities/regions/districts/villages, medical items/services, prices, etc.). Bluesquare and Enabel are working together to develop Standard Operating Procedures detailing the processes to be put in place in the country context. Next step is to clarify the enrollment procedures and processes and necessary training sessions accordingly.
Bluesquare, Enabel and the openIMIS community are very much looking forward to seeing openIMIS up and running in Niger!
