No power. No records.No history.
Most of South Sudan's clinics run on paper-based records that get lost, damaged, or destroyed — and when the paper goes, the patient's story goes with it. Tamam brings digital records that work offline, so care never starts from zero — one system built to hold every community's story, not just one clinic's.
A health system asked to do the impossible
Across South Sudan, clinics and hospitals deliver care through conflict, flooding, and displacement — on paper registers, without reliable power or connectivity.
The highest maternal mortality rate in the world. In the US, the rate is under 20.

The daily reality inside South Sudan's facilities
Documented across South Sudanese facilities, from the wards to the waiting line — the same failures repeat on both sides of the consultation desk.
Medical experts
Patients
Simple enough for the front desk. Strong enough for the nation.
Everything the paper system loses — history, time, trust — Tamam keeps. One offline-first record that follows the patient through every visit.
→↓Offline first
Clinics keep working through power cuts and network gaps, then sync safely when connection returns.
Fingerprint registration
Patients without papers register once — fingerprint and photo give undocumented patients an identity that can't be lost.
GeocodeIDs
Geocoded patient IDs make every record findable across facilities — referrals and transfers follow the patient.
One patient record
Every visit adds to the same story — no duplicate files, no histories rebuilt from memory at the front desk.
Full clinical workflow
Registration, triage, consultation, lab, pharmacy, and billing — every step tied to the same visit.
Dashboards & reporting
Clean records roll up into facility dashboards and DHIS2-ready national reports — no month-end tally sheets.
Secure by design
Sensitive health data is encrypted and access-controlled at every layer, from the clinic device to the national server.
Runs on simple devices
Works on affordable tablets and phones with solar power — no server room, no IT department required.
Six products, one connected encounter
From referral hospitals to single-room clinics — every product ties back to the same record, built for intermittent connectivity.
Hospital Management System
For State, County & Referral hospitals
A connected facility platform for OPD, IPD, ward management, laboratory, imaging, pharmacy, billing, HR, and reporting, all tied to the same patient record.
Clinic Management System
For PHCUs, private practices & faith-based clinics
Everything a single-site clinic needs to run a full patient day: registration, consultation, prescriptions, basic lab, dispensing, billing — offline-first.
Laboratory Information System
For diagnostic centres & hospital labs
Receive orders from any clinician, run bench workflows, capture results, validate, and release them back into the encounter.
Radiology Information System
For radiology centres & imaging departments
Schedule modalities, accession studies, capture findings, and deliver reports back to the ordering clinician — connected to the same record.
Pharmacy Management System
For retail & hospital pharmacies
Track medicines from stock to dispense, manage batches and expiry, fill electronic prescriptions, and keep pharmacy activity visible.
Patient Portal
Patients' window into their own care
Patients see their own records, prescriptions, lab results, and visit history — on a phone, by SMS, or at a kiosk — and share feedback that flows back to the facility.
Built around South Sudan's own health system
The Ministry of Health's 2025 Essential Health Services Packageorganises the country's care into six levels — and names fragmented, paper-bound data as one of its biggest gaps. Tamam is shaped to fit that system, not replace it.
The six levels of care
Served by TamamEvery level writes to the same patient record and rolls up into DHIS2-ready national reports — with laboratory, imaging, pharmacy, and the patient portal plugging in across the hospital and diagnostic tiers.
The sector still runs on parallel, disconnected systems — and the lack of accurate, timely data means care and planning can't rely on what's recorded.
Paraphrased from the South Sudan Essential Health Services Package, 2025 — the exact gap a single offline-first record closes.Prove it works, then bring it to every clinic that needs it
We're raising $100,000 to launch TamamHealth in 10 clinics across Juba and greater South Sudan — proof that offline-first digital records can work in the hardest conditions.
