Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the effect of health management information systems (HMIS) on the control of communicable diseases in public health facilities in Habaswein Sub-County, Wajir County—addressing a critical gap in healthcare data utilization in arid and semi-arid regions. Methodology: Using a census methodology, data were collected from 74 health service providers and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Findings: The findings reveal that most respondents perceive health information as accurate and reliable, with strong confidence in electronic health records and data analytics tools. Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: Government policies were seen as supportive, particularly in promoting data sharing and compliance with regulatory standards. These results highlight the value of robust HMIS, the role of technology, and effective policy frameworks in enhancing disease control. The study recommends regular data quality checks and audits, offering insights for policymakers, healthcare managers, and public health practitioners.
