THE Department of Health, in partnership with the US Agency for International Development in Medicines, Technologies, and Pharmaceutical Services (eLMIS) selected the Dagupan City government as the pilot area in the region for the Electronic Logistics Management Informative System (eLMIS).

The eLMIS is an integrated software solution for a more effective distribution, stock allocation, inventory control, and warehouse administration of medicines, vaccines, and other medical supplies. The digitized and centralized inventory, facilitates the distribution of supplies nationwide from DOH warehouses/hubs down to the LGU health centers.

The system is expected  to eliminate shortages and oversupply of stocks of medicines and vaccines. The City Health Office started training for the new system for the benefit of Dagupeños.  (Dagupan CIO News)
