Thank you for sharing. I understand that OpenMRS is useful tool in delivering care and managing data of ART patients. Since the system is being used by different healthcare workers, how does it protect the privacy and confidentiality of patients’ data?

[Saranath]

Agree with Jenny. For diseases that may create stigma, privacy and confidentiality could be a main concern.

Thanks Aung! You did great in the presentation. You well organized your talk, coving all main content within time provided. For improvement, I think you can provide more decoration to your slides, by adding some relevant photos, logos that are relevant to your talk.
