The information is printed out and given to a messenger. Only the top part of the form is filled, the bottom is reserved for the clinic to fill out.

Messengers visit clinics on rounds every morning to deliver / pick up forms. If it is an emergency, then a special messenger will be on call to service the papers.

Messenger uses Boda Boda to transport forms to clinic

Clinic receives information. When patient is taken care of, the nurse fills lower part of the form.

Patient arrives and his information is already

waiting for him.

Once patient is treated, nurse fills out the form with the diagnostic and indications for treatment.

Messenger uses Boda Boda to pick-up forms from clinics and delivers them to the operator. CHW visit the operator to pick up forms and follow up patient

treatment.
