The global OpenMRS community works together to build the world's leading open source enterprise electronic medical record system platform.
We’ve come together to specifically respond to those actively building and managing health systems in the developing world, where AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria afflict the lives of millions of people.

Our mission is to improve health care delivery in resource-constrained environments by coordinating a global community to create and support this software. Read more.
Who are we?
The OpenMRS community is a worldwide network of volunteers from many different backgrounds including technology, health care, and international development. Together, we're working to build the world's largest and most flexible technology platform to support delivery of health care in some of the most challenging environments on the planet. No matter what your background or interest, we'd love to have you help us save lives with Health IT.
Where are we?
Although we started out to fix a database system in a single clinic in Kenya, in the last few years OpenMRS has grown dramatically to be used both in research and clinical settings in every corner of the planet. We're very proud of the innovators using OpenMRS to improve health care worldwide.
