Abstract

Polio Supplemental Immunization Activities (SIAs) are components of the global polio initiative set out by the world health assembly (WHA) in 1988. While the strategy has helped to interrupt the transmission of wild poliovirus in most countries. The Percentage of positive change needs to be improved upon. Polio and immunization reporting in Africa, Nigeria has traditionally been paper- based. This study assessed the existing polio immunization coverage and proposed a cloud-based framework to enhance quality of data, report and documentation including tracking rural health workers. The proposed solution is a cloud-based health information management system designed specifically for health workers in remote and challenging areas, it allows Health workers to register beneficiaries into health programs like polio vaccination, screen them for high-risk infection, submit stock reports of vaccination and report disease outbreaks as against the manual system. which delayed and lack adequate data quality. QCloudMIS technology also helps to track field exercise and reporting using offline cloud mobile cloud. While the existing technological solution depends on Standalone local server or device memory for storage, this study uncovers their limitations and proposed that cloud-based HMIS can improve health care service delivery and enhance the administration of Vaccines in rural communities.
