As a result, ICT is required in the management of common health challenges such as Malaria, vaccine-preventable illnesses, neglected tropical diseases, the latest Corona virus disease (COVID-19), and HIV.

To summarize data, descriptive statistics were utilized, and cross-tabulation followed by Cramer’s V Test was performed to examine relationship between variables.
Results: Most health personnel and HIV patients do not know how to use ICT platform 78 (62.4%) [95% CI; 53.3-70.9], 156 (59.3%) [95% CI; 53.1-65.3] respectively and want to be trained on apps like DHIS2 tool 29 (23.2%) [95%CI; 16.1-31.6] and Dama 23 (18.4%) [95% CI; 12.0-26.3]
