The Natview Foundation for Technology Innovation recently organized a one-day programmatic training for Program Officers at the headquarters of the Primary Healthcare Board. The training focused on talent management, a key component of the Human Resource for Health Management Information System (HRHMIS), which enables the state to enhance the capacity of its staff.

The program brought together officers from various departments, including Family and Community Health, Administrative Planning, Safe Motherhood Coordination, Insurance, Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses, State Essential Drug Coordination, Food Safety, and more. The session’s objective was to equip participants with the skills needed to upload and document training activities on the HRHMIS platform, ensuring that the state accurately records the conducted training and the individuals who have been trained.

NFTI facilitators structured the training as a hands-on session, guiding participants step-by-step. They were shown how to manage the entire process, from sending out invitations for training programs to data entry and uploading training details onto the platform. The session ensured that participants could actively practice and understand the procedures necessary for effective documentation.

In her remarks, Hajiya Rukayya I. Arab, the Deputy Director of Transportation and Logistics, emphasized the importance of compliance and commitment to the process, stating, “It will work if we do the work, and I look forward to your compliance to help the state make informed decisions.”

The HRHMIS aims to create an integrated human resourcing record system and map various HRH business rules into business processes. This initiative will provide real-time summaries of human resource distribution across the board and various reporting metrics, thereby driving insights into human resources for health management.
