NHMIS in Nigeria is a design established to collect, store, process and manage health care data in an effective and efficient manner in such a way that it will enhance health care delivery. NHMIS involves collection, storage and the transfer of a patient’s EMedical record, An health institution supporting health care policy decisions. National Health Management Information Systems. (NHMIS) promotes efficacious and valid services within hospital settings. NHMIS was introduced in Nigeria precisely 2006 which encompass all health information system. The achievement of NHMIS becomes a mirage due to challenges and problems faced with by health institutions. Be that as it may, it's imperative to have knowledge about determinants for successful implementation to make sure there is qualitative NHMIS. The successfulness of the implementation process of NHMIS is reliant on factors ranging from Technological, personnel and Institutional factors. Any problem relating to heath institutions if pointed out should avert poor implementation in the long run. Thus, this article will review problems of health institution factors affecting the efficacy of NHMIS while considering plans needed to forestall problems earlier identified.

Abstract The inclusion of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in non-household settings in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) elicits the need for data to track progress over time. This review focuses on schools and health care facilities, and seeks to: (1) assess the availability of SDG baseline data for ten case study countries; (2) evaluate the extent to which existing national data allow monitoring against the SDG criteria; and (3) identify opportunities to improve the availability and quality of data for SDG monitoring. While none of the ten countries could provide all of the data needed to establish comprehensive SDG baselines, every country had information on at least some of the indicators. Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) currently provide the majority of national data on WASH in schools and, in many cases, could be aligned with the SDG criteria with only minor changes. Far fewer data are available for health care facilities. Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) provide a potential entry point for national monitoring. However, where HMIS are administered monthly, annual data collection instruments, such as facility inventory surveys, may be more appropriate. These findings have implications for monitoring WASH in other settings, such as workplaces and prisons.
