The project started as a research project of IMA World health since 2013, and it has been under active development ever since.

BHIMA aims to provide a flexible and robust accounting and managerial solution for rural hospitals. This includes, but is not limited to, basic income/expense reporting, budgeting, patient and organisational billing, depreciation, inventory and pricing, and purchasing.
Additionally, BHIMA bundles reports and optional reporting plugins to aid hospital administrators, aid organisations, and governmental/non-governmental agencies access up to date utilization data. It targets insitutions that must conform to the OHADA reporting standards in western and central Africa.
Finally, the entire project is designed to scale from a single, low-cost device in a clinic, to a large multi-hundred bed institution with tens of users accessing the server simultaneously.

Tech stack

The project is written using Node.js, AngularJS, Redis, and uses MySQL database in the backend.
