HISP Highlights October 2025

From data quality and server administration to climate–health and education data, October was packed with action across the HISP network. Teams led workshops and trainings in Pakistan and Togo, coordinated on Pakistan’s TB Tracker, and shared field impacts through new videos from India, Rwanda, and WHO Zambia. We also gathered at the DHIS2 Asia Pacific Conference in Bali, a Climate & Health workshop in Addis Ababa, the Africa HealthTech Summit, and the ADEA Triennale—alongside talks in Norway on HISP’s long-term impact.
