One record instead of a bag of papers
Across Iraq, patients carry their own X‑ray films, lab slips and handwritten notes from one doctor to the next. Nabda keeps that history in one record that every clinic, hospital and pharmacy can read and add to.
The same four days, in one record
Zainab Kareem goes from her local clinic to the emergency department, a ward and back home. Each team writes to the same record, so nobody waits for a paper file to arrive.
Nine roles sign in to the same record
Choose a role to see Zainab's record the way they would. A porter sees the transfer, not the notes.
An example. Each hospital decides what each role can see.
Arabic first, with doses that read the same
The interface reads right to left in Arabic. Doses, units and record numbers stay left to right, so 5 mg is never misread as 5 g or reversed.
Rules the system will not break
An emergency always gets through
A clinician can open any record in an emergency. They type the reason in their own words, and the access is reviewed.
Access narrows, never widens
Role, care relationship, confidentiality and unusual activity are checked in that order. Each check can only remove access.
Restricted records leave no trace
A withheld record shows no marker and no count, because a marker would give it away.
The audit log is never edited
Entries are only ever added. Every action records who did it and when.
A discharge is final
Once a stay is closed, nothing in it can be changed afterwards.
Missing is written as missing
An unrecorded reading says “Not recorded”. A blank space looks as if nobody asked.
Emergency access
A record that follows a patient between governorates
Nabda is built to give every citizen one health record, offered to the Ministry of Health and designed to work alongside the national systems already in use.
- Installed at each site
- The record runs inside each hospital, so it keeps working on a closed network.
- Built on HL7 FHIR
- An open standard, so sites can share records with each other and with national systems.
- Supported from inside Iraq
- Training, support and network teams are planned to be based in the country.
