DHIS2 Data Downloader

Introduction

The DHIS2 (District Health Information Software 2) Data Downloader is a React-based Electron application that allows users to connect to a DHIS2 instance, select dimensions, periods, organization units and levels, and download respective data from DHIS2 servers.

Features

• Downloading DHIS2 Data - The downloader allows downloading HMIS data with selected date ranges, data elements, organization levels, organization units, and disaggregated dimensions.

• HMIS Data Dictionary: The downloader allows users to search the relevant terms and get the 11-letter JSON ID for Data Elements, Indicators, and Category Combos. Additionally, it converts the JSON IDs to readable names for Indicators when the numerator and denominator are available.
