Built for Nepal's Health Insurance Board and Social Security Fund

During COVID-19 we developed an openIMIS solution for the random sampling of insurance claims. It lets the Health Insurance Board process thousands of claims a day with fewer staff and helps identify potential fraud. After extensive testing it was merged into the core openIMIS product.

We have since delivered further openIMIS solutions for the Health Insurance Board and the Social Security Fund, and we work directly on the global openIMIS product.
