This project originated from the Royal Academy of Engineering's Frontiers of Development grant, adapting open-source health technology for Arabic-speaking communities. Built on Bahmni โ the open-source enterprise-grade EHR system trusted by healthcare organizations worldwide.
We gratefully acknowledge the World Health Organization and UK RAEng for funding this project and making it possible to bring open-source hospital technology to communities that need it most.
A special thank you to Next Medtech, the social enterprise whose team of 30+ clinicians and software developers in Syria led the localization, development, and deployment of Bahmni RTL โ from building the RTL/Arabic version to clinical workflow integration and supporting multiple large academic hospitals through system adoption.
Thank you to our development partner IPLit for their important role in building Bahmni RTL and supporting its deployment.
Whether you're a hospital, NGO, or health ministry โ reach out to us or our implementation partner to discuss deployment in your region.
