Digital Health Transformation

The applications of appropriate digital technologies play vital roles in transforming various social services, including education, health and welfare. For instance, digital health transformation is critical in impacting population health and ensuring the delivery of quality health services. The World Health Organization (WHO) calls on member states to adopt digital health strategies to guide the utilisation of digital health for improved population health, enhanced health system responsiveness, and attainment of universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Moreover, the Tanzania Development Vision 2025 considers the use of digital technologies (ICTs) to enable the attainment of sustainable socio-economic development.

EnterSoft Systems Limited, as a digital solution integrator, strives to contribute to the achievements of these global and national goals by implementing affordable, demand-drive and usable digital solutions to address community challenges. We advocate the adoption of global digital goods, which are open-source-based digital tools adaptable to different countries and contexts.

Public Digital Goods

The Power of Open-Source digital solutions

We promote the use of endorsed open-source digital solutions for the meaningful digital transformation of social services delivery. We promote the use and reuse of digital public goods. Digital public goods are open-source software, open data, open AI models, open standards, and open content that adhere to privacy and other applicable laws and best practices, do no harm by design and help attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our Principles

We strive to ensure maximise customer experience and satisfaction by developing and implementing digital solutions to cater for dynamic and unique customer requirements.

We are committed to employing the Nine Principles for Digital Development throughout the life cycle of any digital solution development. We also ensure that the solutions are designed, developed and implemented in line with eGovernment regulations and guidelines.

Community Engagement

It is thus paramount to empower and transform individuals, private and public organisations and the general public to play active roles in this digital transformation.
