A framework for Computerized Health Management Information Systems for the nine countries under the International

Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) in Africa and Latin America was proposed in 2007 in a research

work carried out by Nicole Archangel in collaboration with IICD. Since technology can be acquired and adapted,

countries in Africa need to adapt and develop their own information systems based on their local needs and structures,

applying local methods and practices. This research is carried out to propose a standard operational framework for Health

Management Information System (HMIS) in Nigeria based on the framework for IICD countries with special adaptation to

Nigeria HMIS. This research, building on the existing system proposes a health management information system

framework with emphasis on a patient centric system interface and participation. Another major issue addressed is the

provisioning of multi-lingua platform translation for illiterate indigenous patients to interact with the health management

information system. The results obtained from the application developed on the proposed framework shows a novelty of

multi-language support; which enables anyone to use the system in a preferred language (most probably the user’s

mother’s tongue). The implication of this design is that any language can be added in the future to open accessibility and

usability to more users from different ethnic community.
