It’s an electronic medical records system, built on .NET and SQL Server Express, which also uses smart cards for data storage. It’s been accepted as the national standard for Zambia, and after a multi-year pilot, SmartCare is being deployed countrywide by the Zambian Ministry of Health and other (NGO) implementation partners. Project funding comes from a number of sources, such as the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation, PepFar and more. The US CDC is also involved.
