Abstract

Oral health is essential to overall health but faces significant challenges in low- and middle-income countries like Angola due to inequalities in access to care, worsened by a lack of infrastructure and resources. DHIS2 (District Health Information Software 2) emerges as a viable solution to improve health data management and promote equity in access to dental care. Objective to identify opportunities and challenges in implementing DHIS2 to promote oral health in Angola. The research, conducted according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines, used specific descriptors in the PUBMED, SCOPUS, and WEB OF SCIENCE databases, resulting in the selection of 11 studies, which were analyzed through content analysis. The analysis revealed four main categories: 1) oral health as a priority, 2) electronic health systems, 3) benefits and challenges of EHR/POE, and 4) DHIS2's contribution to equity. It is concluded that, although DHIS2 has the potential to optimize data management and support inclusive policies, its implementation requires investments in infrastructure, professional training, and intersectoral support to overcome structural challenges.
