Frontend development and UI/UX for the Ministry of Health's Kenya Master Health Facility Registry.
Overview
The Kenya Master Health Facility Registry (KMHFR) is a comprehensive database of all health facilities in Kenya, serving as the authoritative source of information for the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders.
Version 3 of the dashboard focused on improving usability, adding advanced visualization capabilities, and enhancing the facility management workflow. The dashboard provides real-time insights into health facility distribution, services offered, and operational status across the country.
