Summary
👤
SeniorBaobab Trust is the founder-led force behind Baobab Health Trust, bringing 16 years of experience designing and deploying point-of-care Electronic Medical Record systems for Malawi’s Ministry of Health. They focus on locally led capacity building—maintaining an entirely Malawian development and support team—to ensure sustainable implementation and ownership. Their work marries practical engineering with harsh real-world constraints: low-power devices, solid-state storage, intuitive touch interfaces, and solar/wind backup to keep systems running through power outages and dusty conditions. Committed to FOSS principles, they prioritize knowledge sharing and continuous improvement so EMRs evolve with frontline users who often have minimal prior ICT exposure. The organization’s pragmatic innovations reflect deep domain expertise in making digital health resilient, usable, and locally sustainable.
