Project overview

Bringing digital health records to 50 public health facilities across Bangladesh

Crystal Technology was awarded the contract to deploy the Shared Health Record (SHR) system across 40 Upazila Health Complexes and 10 District Hospitals under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) MIS division at Mohakhali, Dhaka. The Notice of Award (NOA) was issued in June 2019, marking the beginning of a large-scale nationwide health digitization effort.

The project involved end-to-end delivery of the SHR platform — a comprehensive hospital management and patient record system designed to unify clinical data across geographically dispersed facilities. The software enabled real-time patient tracking, standardized clinical workflows, and centralized reporting to improve healthcare delivery and policy decision-making at the district and national levels.

Crystal Technology managed the complete project lifecycle including hardware delivery and commissioning at all 50 sites, structured LAN networking installation, SHR software deployment and configuration, on-site staff training for clinical and administrative users, and ongoing technical support to ensure smooth adoption and sustained system operation.
