2. WHAT IS OPENMRS?
OpenMRS is a software platform and a
reference application which enables design of a
customized medical records system with no
programming knowledge.
It is a common platform upon which medical
informatics efforts in developing countries can be
built. The system is based on a conceptual
database structure.
3. OUR AIM:
The mission of OpenMRS is to improve health
care delivery in resource-constrained
environments by coordinating a global
community that creates a robust, scalable,
