INTRODUCTION

Luke International (LIN) works to restore human’s health and dignity through building bridges between local and international development partners, creating interfaces between health and technology, advocating and serving where the greatest needs are.

Through the Diabetes Compass project being funded by the World Diabetes Foundation, Luke International has developed a point of care digital system for the management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as a microservice in the Malawi HealthCare Information System (MaHIS) for the Malawi Ministry of Health in the first phase of the project.

In the second phase of the project, LIN will assist the Ministry of Health to implement the NCD management digital solution in Ntchisi, Karonga and Salima health facilities as a pilot. Therefore, LIN seeks the services of individual IT consultants to assist in carrying out the work in the second phase of the Diabetes Compass project.
