Is it Odoo or ERPNext?
There are examples of using open source software for healthcare, for example: https://worldvista.org/AboutVistA/copy_of_index_html https://www.gnuhealth.org/ Most of these are used at a hospital level. Lebanon does make extensive use of WorldVistA. The US Military Veterans no longer use WorldVistA. A well structured open source model would lead to accountability and enable auditing. In the US healthcare regulation has been subject to significant political lobbying. Comparisons with other countries that are trying to provide universal health coverage like India, or countries that have well functioning universal health coverage systems particularly those in the low to middle income GDP bracket, would be helpful.

Hi Team,
I wanted to share some important information regarding the payer and hospital management systems Kenyan government is considering. Oracle, with its acquisition of Cerner, has established itself as a clear leader in this field. Their proven track record and extensive experience make them a reliable choice.
On the other hand, Adani's capabilities in this space are largely unknown. While they may be a reputable company in other sectors, their lack of experience in healthcare technology raises significant concerns. It's essential to consider the risks associated with implementing an unproven system, especially in a critical area like healthcare.
Given that Oracle is a Kenyan company, partnering with them should aligns with Kenya's commitment to supporting local businesses and ensuring a smooth integration process.
If anyone is listening here let somebody ask and carefully evaluate options out there and make an informed decision based on the proven track record and expertise of Oracle.
Best regards,
TN
