OpenMRS Around the World

OpenMRS was born in Kenya, and today is used all around the world - and built by people from around the world too! Today, the OpenMRS community is a widespread network of dedicated individuals and organizations. As Health IT projects go, we're really big!

Are you implementing OpenMRS? We need to hear from you! Tell us your latest metrics by posting on our forum talk.openmrs.org or by contacting community@openmrs.org!

Production Sites Around the World

The Latest Metrics

Based on self-reporting by implementers in our global community, we calculate OpenMRS is used in production in:

  • 80+ Countries

  • 8,100+ Healthcare Sites / Facilities

  • 22+ Million Patients

  • For many different clinical areas, from general outpatient / walk-in centers and primary care, to many different kinds of Specialist/Consultant Clinics, to Inpatient Department Care, to highly specialized treatment centres like oncology. Some historical stories about early-days uses of OpenMRS are here.

Virtual Map: The OpenMRS “Atlas”

For an interactive map built with data from some of our implementation sites, visit: https://atlas.openmrs.org . More details on the Atlas project are here. However, as of 2024, the Atlas module is not as actively maintained or used by implementers. This is something we hope to improve soon. For now, much of our useage and site number collection is manual.
