About SORMAS
History
SORMAS has been developed during the ebola pandemic in Africa in 2014 and was first deployed in Nigeria in 2015, followed by Ghana a few years later.
In the meantime SORMAS became open-source to ensure a sustainability and independence from IT companies.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic SORMAS was developed further and is now used in several countries in Africa, Asia and Europa.
