Well come to Department of Health  Information Technology 

Department of Health information technology started to offer courses and enroll students since 2000. Initially the department was offering an Level IV program of Generic Health  information technology and now planned to provide post basic health informatics program.

Ethiopia, with the aim of digitization and information revolution, Health Sector Transformation Plan and Sustainable Development Goal, several interventions, including the implementation of new systems like DHIS-2 to handle data and promote evidence-based decision making, and advocacy of Performance Monitoring Teams in HCs, hospitals, and in tertiary hospitals have been carried out across the different levels of the health system. This revolution in health sector demands specially trained Health  information technology  professionals to function as Health  information technology practitioners. However; across the country, there is scarcity of human resource in the field to effectively manage the task and trans form the health care. Improving pre-service education is likely to be more sustainable than in-service training and will eventually reduce the need for in-service training activities. Therefore, strengthening the health informatics component in the pre-service education of healthcare providers is of paramount importance.
