Electronic immunization registries (EIRs) and other immunization information systems can be powerful tools, but in order to achieve their long-term sustainability, countries and governments must understand the financial investment to develop, implement, and sustain such tools as the BID Initiative's EIRs in Tanzania and Zambia. This sort of costing information helps countries budget for and plan for expansion. 

Learn more about BID's total cost of ownership (TCO) tool in this recent Q&A with our Senior Health Economist, or reference our TCO factsheet. We hope it will benefit other countries interested in implementing their own digital health initiatives.

Sincerely,

The BID Initiative
