Hello Community Member & Bahmni Supporter!
As we start 2021, we wanted to provide a short summary of the impact & new features rolled out in 2020. This has been an unprecedented year for humanity and the Bahmni community has responded! As you are aware, Bahmni is a free & open source EMR and Hospital Management system designed for NGOs, Governments and clinics across the globe operating in difficult, resource-constrained or challenging environments. We are delighted to see an amazing adoption & rollout of Bahmni across the world, and are excited about the new features recently developed around Covid care, Tele-Consultation, Form Designing, Analytics and more.
