National information system for combating COVID-19

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

The Ministry of Health operationalized a national information system for combating COVID-19. The system provides centralized management and storage of information on all diagnosed and quarantined persons and provides functional support to all institutions engaged in the fight against the Coronavirus. It ensures the link between the individual institution, general practitioners, laboratories, hospitals, the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The system has a specialized software for analyses and visualization through geographical maps.
