Health Information Exchange
Share clinical records between institutions securely, with every exchange authorised, encrypted and logged.
National Digital Health Infrastructure
Connecting Ghana's Healthcare System
VENHIMS enables secure exchange of health information between healthcare providers while allowing every institution to maintain ownership of its local health records — no facility loses control of its data to be part of the national network.
About
One Platform. Connected Healthcare.
VENHIMS provides a secure national exchange layer that allows hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmacies and other health institutions to exchange authorised patient information safely, efficiently and in compliance with national regulations. Built on open, standards-based interoperability, VENHIMS connects to the systems each institution already runs — it does not require facilities to replace what already works.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns our patient data on VENHIMS?
Your institution retains full ownership of its records at all times. VENHIMS exchanges only the specific information authorised for a given referral, lab request or emergency access — it does not centralise records away from the institutions that hold them.
Does VENHIMS replace our existing hospital or clinic system?
No. VENHIMS is an exchange layer that connects your existing systems to other providers in the network. It is designed to work alongside what you already run, not replace it.
How long does integration take?
Timelines depend on facility size and existing systems. The onboarding process is structured into readiness assessment, configuration, staff training and go-live, and our team works with each institution to plan a realistic schedule.
Is VENHIMS compliant with Ghana's data protection requirements?
VENHIMS is designed around Ghana's Data Protection Act and national health data governance standards, with encryption, complete audit trails and role-based access built into the platform from the ground up.
