Background

FHI 360 is a non-profit human development organization dedicated to improving lives in lasting ways by advancing integrated, locally driven solutions. Our staff includes experts in health, education, nutrition, environment, economic development, civil society, gender, youth, research, and technology; creating a unique mix of capabilities to address today's interrelated development challenges. FHI 360 serves more than 60 countries, all 50 U.S. states and all U.S. territories.

The Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC) is a five-year, global project funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). EpiC Vietnam’s goal is to deliver efficient, affordable, results-based technical assistance and direct services while closing remaining gaps in Vietnam’s efforts to meet HIV epidemic control targets, address the COVID-19 pandemic, and combat trafficking in persons.

We are seeking for a qualified vendor to maintain a current D-heath application including mobile app, web app and admin portal.

D.Health application was originally launched in 2020 as a tool that helped to better inform people of community-based services related to HIV testing and referral to treatment and related health topics. This tool was co-developed with representatives from community-based organizations (CBOs) representing key populations and LIFE Centre, implementing partners of USAID Enhanced Community HIV-Link Southern project.

This application also supports client appointments with CBOs, ordering HIV self-test kits, and a step-by-step walk through to help clients identify health services they can benefit from start to completion of a particular service chosen (such as hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, mental health, etc.)

D.Health enables CBOs and outreach workers to document client work, track referrals, and assess programmatic needs for community support. The application also allows implementing partners (and supervision agencies) to monitor CBO activities, ensure accurate reporting, and analyze trends.

D-health operates on the internet and is currently deployed in Ho Chi Minh, Dong Nai, and Ha Noi.
