With support from the Gavi Alliance, Zenysis will work with the government of Mozambique to enhance the use of data for decision making.
San Francisco, CA, August 12, 2021 — Zenysis Technologies, Inc. (Zenysis) has been selected by the government of Mozambique to expand its National Health System Analytics Platform (NHS Platform). With support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (Gavi), the initiative aims to strengthen national childhood vaccination programs and outbreak response capabilities.
“We are excited to deepen our partnership with the government of Mozambique, which is pioneering the use of big data to improve health outcomes on a national scale,” said Jonathan Stambolis, CEO, Zenysis.
“Access to accurate and reliable data will help support the Government of Mozambique’s planning and implementation of immunization programs, to ensure no child is left behind” said Cyril Nogier, Senior Country Manager for Anglophone Africa, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. “Zenysis’ partnership with Gavi and the government of Mozambique is an example of how private sector innovation and technology can be catalytic to furthering global health outcomes.”
Zenysis commenced work on the NHS Platform in 2020, with support from Gavi. Initially funded to enhance routine vaccination, the platform was quickly repurposed to support the COVID-19 response.
Zenysis will now work with the government of Mozambique to integrate census data, surveillance data, as well as data on health infrastructure and vaccine supplies into the NHS Platform. Crucially, Zenysis will also work with the government to build the capacity of health professionals to analyze and utilize these data to strengthen routine vaccination and emergency response programs, including the COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
The expansion of the NHS Platform will be overseen by the Ministry of Health’s Expanded Programme on Immunization. Zenysis will also work with the government to build IT capacity at the Ministry of Health. These investments will help maximize the impact and the sustainability of the platform in Mozambique over the long term.
Zenysis is co-investing its own private sector resources in the project, which will be implemented over a three-year period. Upon completion, the NHS Platform will be one of the most advanced of its kind in Africa.
