Dagu 2 is an inventory management system designed to manage commodities and logistic at health facilities, such as medications, medical equipments, and vaccinations. It provides a systematic recordkeeping system for managing health commodities and facilitates the use of standard operating logistics procedures including: issue and receipts, ‘first to expire, first out’ (FEFO), and batch/expiry tracking. It also helps store and generate timely stock reports for decision-making.
Implemented at national level. Running in about 650 health facilities in Ethiopia.
