Ethiopia started implementing a community health information system from 2013. It is used by the Health Extension Workers in the country, who carries out basic medical services to the rural population. They work in a small health post with some equipment, vaccines and medicines, and they visit households to care for patients and promote healthy behaviour, including water and sanitation.

Each health extension worker collaborates with around 10 volunteer community workers, each elected in their own village to assist the health extension worker.

The health extension workers were equipped with the digital information system eCHIS 6-8 years ago, where households are registered.
