We\nare an international team based all over the world.\n\nBHIMA is an acronym for _basic hospital information management application_.  It was originally\ndeveloped by [IMA World Health](https://imaworldhealth.org/) with funding from the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).\n\nProject Goals\n--------------------\n\nBHIMA provides a flexible and robust accounting and managerial solution\nfor rural hospitals.  This includes, but is not limited to, income/expense\nreporting, budgeting, patient and organisational billing, depreciation,\ninventory and pricing, and purchasing.\n\nAdditionally, BHIMA bundles reports and optional reporting plugins to aid\nhospital administrators, aid organisations, and governmental/non-governmental\nagencies access up to date utilization data.  It targets insitutions that must conform\nto the [OHADA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OHADA) reporting standards in western\nand central Africa.\n\nFinally, the entire project is designed to scale from a single, low cost device\nin a clinic, to a large multi-hundred bed institution with tens of users\naccessing the server simultaneously.\n\nTechnology\n---------------\n\nThe client is written in AngularJS and the server is NodeJS.  Session management\nis enabled by Redis, and the backend is a MySQL database.\n\nContributing\n---------------\nAll contributions are welcome!  If you want to get started hacking on BHIMA, the\n[developer wiki](https://github.com/Third-Culture-Software/bhima/wiki) contains notes\non our designs and testing infrastructure.  We also have a dedicated documentation\nwebsite https://docs.bhi.ma.  If you have any questions or need help getting started,\nplease [open an issue](https://github.com/Third-Culture-Software/bhima/issues/new) - chances\nare you are not the only one!\n\nIf you just want to jump into to messing with the software, check out [Getting Up And Running](https://github.com/Third-Culture-Software/bhima/wiki/Getting-Up-and-Running).\n\nIf you are new to GitHub, they have an [excellent guide](https://docs.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github).\n\nInstallation\n-------------------\nSee the [installation guide](https://docs.bhi.ma/en/for-developers/installing-bhima.html).\n\nLicense\n---------------\nBHIMA is licensed under GPL-2.0.
