DawaSmartHMIS
Hospital management system · Kenya

Run the whole hospital on one patient record.

Front desk, triage, clinicians, laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, wards and the cashier on one system. A patient is registered once; every order, result, dose and shilling attaches to that record.

Who it is for

Hospitals of every size, from a single site to a national group.

One system scales from a 40-bed hospital to a referral hospital and a multi-site network. What changes is the number of departments, beds and sites you switch on, never the product.

Running a pharmacy or clinic? DawaSmart for pharmacies and clinics has published prices and a free trial.

  1. 01

    Private hospitals

    Revenue that reconciles: every order, dose and bed day reaches the invoice, and M-Pesa posts itself. Owners see the day from their phone.

  2. 02

    Faith-based and mission hospitals

    Dependable records across outpatient, wards, pharmacy and MCH, with payer and waiver controls that keep the books honest without slowing care.

  3. 03

    County and public hospitals

    Department queues, triage, laboratory and radiology worklists and a management dashboard that shows arrivals, waits and beds as they happen.

  4. 04

    Hospital groups

    Each site with its own catalogue, stock, staff and reports under one account, and group-wide visibility for the executive team and the board.

One record

From registration to discharge, nothing is re-typed.

Each hand-off moves the patient to the next queue and carries the record with them. Billing is built as care happens, not reconstructed at the exit.

What a connected record changes on the floor

  • The clinician sees results as they are entered — no runner, no printout, no phone call to the lab.
  • The cashier sees every item — orders and dispensing create bill items; the exit bill is already complete.
  • The pharmacy knows what was prescribed — and the ward knows what was dispensed and administered.
  • Management sees the day as it happens — arrivals, waits, beds, billed and collected, by department.

Modules

Ten modules. Switch on what you run; add the rest in phases.

Every module below is in the product today. Each page lists exactly what it does, how the workflow runs and who uses it.

All modules in detail

Inpatient

A live bed board, nursing records on the admission, and a bill that posts itself.

  • Wards and beds with status: available, occupied, reserved, in maintenance
  • Observations, progress notes and a medication administration record signed at the bedside
  • Daily bed charges posted each night; deposits and interim payments tracked
  • Guided discharge with a printed summary

Laboratory worklist

Diagnostics

Orders reach the lab as they are placed. Results reach the clinician as they are entered.

  • Test and imaging catalogues with prices per branch; billing created with the order
  • Worklists by status: ordered, collected, in progress, resulted
  • Attachments and analyser printouts, including photos from a phone via a secure upload link
  • Branded report PDFs, sent to patients by SMS or WhatsApp where enabled

Pharmacy and billing

Stock that reconciles and a cashier who collects what was done.

  • Dispensing deducts stock by batch; expiry alerts, purchase orders, transfers and stock counts
  • Cash, M-Pesa STK Push, Paybill or Till, card and bank, matched to the invoice
  • Discounts and waivers requested on the invoice and approved by a manager
  • Payers, pre-authorisations and claims recorded per visit

Security and compliance

Procurement will ask. Here are the answers, including the ones still in progress.

Safravo Ltd is a registered Data Processor with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner. The platform was penetration-tested by an independent firm in 2026. We publish what is in place, what is in progress and what is on the roadmap, and we do not claim certification we do not yet hold.

Implementation

Phased go-live, on-site training, and support that stays after launch.

  1. 1

    Discovery

    We map your departments, services, price lists and payers, and agree a dated, phased plan before any contract.

    Configuration and migration

    Catalogues, wards, stock, staff and patient demographics are set up and imported from your current records.

  3. 3

    Training

    Role-based sessions on site for reception, nursing, clinicians, laboratory, pharmacy, cashiers and administrators.

  4. 4

    Go-live

    Our team is on the floor for the first days of each phase.

  5. 5

    Support

    Critical issues acknowledged within one hour, around the clock. A named contact for the hospital.

Questions

The questions hospital boards ask first.

More on the FAQ page, including data ownership, exit, offline use and SHA.

How is DawaSmart HMIS priced for a hospital?
By quote. A quote has three parts: a one-off implementation fee (configuration, data migration, on-site training and go-live support), an annual licence set by facility level and size, and an optional support agreement with guaranteed response times. Prices are per hospital; additional branches are priced at a reduced rate.
Where is the data hosted?
On DigitalOcean infrastructure in the United States, under DigitalOcean's data processing agreement. We disclose this clearly because it is a cross-border transfer under the Data Protection Act; our DPIA and privacy policy document the position and the safeguards.
Is DawaSmart certified by the Digital Health Agency?
Our application and evidence pack have been submitted and are under review. We do not describe DawaSmart as certified until the Agency issues its decision, and this site will be updated when it does.
How long does implementation take?
It depends on the departments in scope and the state of your existing records. A phased go-live starting with outpatient and pharmacy is typically measured in weeks; a full hospital including inpatient, laboratory and radiology takes longer. We agree a dated plan with you during discovery, before any contract is signed.
