On April 30, 2024, Mr. Kalu Singh Karki, Senior IT Officer from the Government of Nepal Health Insurance Board (HIB), Dr. Roshan Koju, Director of the Information Management Division at Social Security Fund (SSF) Nepal, and Mr. Purushottam Sapkota, Technical Advisor from GIZ Nepal, shared their organization’s respective experiences in implementing openIMIS, including use cases and IT-related updates on AeHIN Hour. A total of 57 participants from 23 countries joined the session.

In this session, the HIB shared that they use openIMIS to support the management of their core business processes, and openIMIS enabled them to quickly implement their management information systems (MIS) for health insurance. The SSF shared that they use openIMIS for medical, maternity, accident, and critical illness benefits. In the past, claims were done manually, but with GIZ’s help, claims were automated in 2022. Lastly, GIZ Nepal shared its support for the government by helping improve HIB’s and SSF’s core processes, improving access to digital data and information for health sector management, and improving interoperability in various systems.
