Strategic Digital Health Partner (SDHP) for IHIS Implementation Oversight and Technical Advisory
Background
The Government of Kosovo (GoK), through the Ministry of Health (MoH), has received financing from the World Bank in the amount of EUR 20 million to support the Kosovo Comprehensive Approach to Health System Strengthening Project (KOMPAS). This project aims to strengthen governance, quality of care, and efficiency in the healthcare system of Kosovo, positioning digital health as a core pillar of reform. The Integrated Health Information System (IHIS) will play a central role in this transformation.
The Department for Health Information Systems (DSISH), under the Ministry of Health (MoH), is responsible for the implementation of IHIS. To ensure successful implementation and oversight of this large-scale transformation, a Strategic Digital Health Partner (SDHP) will be engaged. The SDHP will provide technical advisory, implementation oversight, quality assurance, and support in the development of technical documents and specifications for the systems required under the KOMPAS project.
For clarity, the SDHP is defined strictly as a technical advisory and oversight partner. The SDHP is NOT an implementation vendor and does NOT have decision-making authority for procurement processes.
