In the West Bank, primary care system for maternal and child was entirely paper-based, with providers spending considerable amounts of time maintaining multiple files client registers. As part phased national implementation an electronic system, some clinics are now using registry (eRegistry) health. The eRegistry consists client-level entered by at point-of-care supports several digital...
