Project Description:

Healthcare is an extremely important part of any country, and so it is the case with Pakistan. Unfortunately, in majority of health care providing facilities in Pakistan , (clinics, hospitals etc) the use of Information Technology is almost non-existent. As a result, these health care facilities are operating at a sub-optimal level. There is an utmost need to improve the present healthcare system by introducing Information Technology. COS-HMS is the beginning of this said objective. It is an ERP system in which the complex issues like international standard adherence, scalability, cost & performance are kept in mind.
