How Western Cape Fixed Contact Duplication in CHT (Demo) | CHT Community Story

South Africa's Western Cape is home to around 7.5 million people, with over 5 million reliant on public healthcare. The Community Health Action Mobile Platform (CHAMP) is an app created by the Western Cape Department of Health and Wellness, under the Provincial Health Data Centre. It supports health workers reaching underserved communities in areas with violent crime, flooding risk, fires, storm damage, and deep-seated mistrust of government. CHAMP needs to be intuitive, reliable, and empowering. But duplicate contacts were cluttering critical health data. Here’s how the project tackled it. In this CHT Community Story, Anro Swart and Cleopas Hwinya share how they identified and solved a widespread problem with duplicate contact entries in the Community Health Toolkit (CHT). 🔍 In this session, you’ll see: What caused the duplication of contacts in CHT Why fixing it mattered for trust and continuity of care How their new deduplication logic works (live demo!)
