The DHIS2 Tracker records all client-related information for HIV prevention, testing, treatment, care, and support services, including PMTCT, EID, and follow-up discontinuation, across all service delivery points. Once a client is registered, their details are entered into the system and can be accessed at any time. Its primary goal is to ensure real-time data recording, supporting effective treatment and program implementation.

The system also facilitates the transfer and referral of client information between sites. Integrated with a Biometric System for fingerprint scanning, the DHIS2 Tracker streamlines processes such as duplication checks and client transfers. However, some sites face internet speed challenges, which affect the system"s full functionality. The DHIS2 Tracker, a priority for NCASC and the Integrated Health Information Management Section (IHIMS), enables sites to generate monthly reports that can be uploaded directly to the aggregated DHIS2 system of the national Health Management Information System (HMIS). Since both systems operate on the same platform, individual client data can be formatted into national reporting templates for seamless integration into HMIS.

This reduces data entry errors and enhances timely reporting from ART sites. Operational across all HIV program sites in Nepal, the HIV Care and ART Tracking System consists of three interconnected components: DHIS2 Tracker, mHealth, and Biometrics. Built on the DHIS2 platform, which is also used by IHIMS under the Management Division of the Department of Health Services, the system centralizes client information, prevents duplication, and supports efficient client management
