The Australian Institute for Health and Welfare (AIHW) Pacific Health Information Support Hub (PHISH) aims to strengthen the health information management capabilities of Pacific Island Countries (PICs). PHISH provides support at the regional level, as well as working directly with Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu to improve their ability to collect, validate, analyse, and present health data to inform public health policy.

This partnership develops and implement innovative open-source digital health tools suitable for our region, to improve health outcomes in low-resource settings. This includes Open mSupply, Tamanu, Tupaia, Tupaia MediTrak and DataTrak, and the SENAITE Laboratory Information System and Health Supply Hub. These tools enhance healthcare delivery and data management, making health systems more efficient and effective.
