This study examines how Health Management Information Systems (HMIS) help Community Health Workers (CHWs) reduce child mortality from pneumonia and diarrhoea in Yobe and Taraba States, Nigeria. Using the District Health Information System (DHIS), the research found that Yobe State managed cases more efficiently due to better HMIS use. Despite data quality issues, HMIS has the potential to improve health outcomes through better data management. The study recommends improving data quality, expanding technology, providing ongoing CHW training, and fostering collaboration to enhance health interventions and reduce child mortality in Nigeria.
