Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Though I have not participated actively on this rich platform, I have one way or another through the m&e unit at MoH, reflected on some of the novel ideas shared. Please keep it up !!!
Going forward, I would kindly request that you delete my email address from this family list since I am now working from Cabinet Office with completely different responsibilities.
Of course I will  miss such  discussions on the development of better HIS for all. Mr Chipalo KALIKI, Deputy Director - M&E at MoH (copied), whom most of you already know would be essential on this mailing List. 
With best wishes, and Shalom!
Dr Chris Simoonga
