Several blog posts describe "joining" GoTHOMIS as if it were an open sign-up. It isn't. GoTHOMIS is the Government of Tanzania Health Operations Management Information System, run by PO-RALG (Ofisi ya Rais, TAMISEMI), and it's a working tool for people who staff health facilities: receptionists, nurses, doctors, lab staff, pharmacists, cashiers and facility in-charges.

Accounts are issued to them, not opened by them. Patients don't create accounts either. No public patient sign-up appeared on any official page checked for this guide.

So who is this article for? Mainly health workers who've just been handed a username and can't get in. And patients who keep hearing "the system" mentioned at the hospital counter and want to know what it is.

What GoTHOMIS does in a facility

It keeps a patient's visit inside one system from the front desk to the pharmacy. The official GoTHOMIS home page lists these modules:

  • Patient registration, card verification and appointments
  • Vital signs and BMI
  • Outpatient and inpatient consultation, nursing care and the operating theatre
  • Pharmacy: requisition, receiving, issuing, stock-taking, dispensing
  • Bill management: pending and cancelled bills, cashier bills, receipt reprints
  • Insurance: verification (NHIF and CHF are named) and e-claims
  • External referral, immunisation, TB and leprosy, diabetes and hypertension, NICU, rehabilitation
  • Prime Vendor: out-of-stock notices and medicine orders

Your account only shows the modules for your role. A cashier won't see the consultation screens, and a clinician won't see billing.

Coverage is high. Prof. Riziki Shemdoe, the Minister of State in OWM-TAMISEMI, said at a primary health care meeting in September 2026 that 96.6 percent of primary-level government facilities are connected to GoTHOMIS and 87.6 percent to GePG, according to news reports of the meeting. "Connected" doesn't mean every service runs smoothly, but it does mean a nearby dispensary or health centre is likely to use it.

Who gets an account, and how

There's no self-registration. The end-user manual says the system administrator creates each user, sets their role, and issues an initial password. Nothing in the manual describes an open sign-up form.

In practice that means you ask your facility in-charge or the council ICT officer. Say your full name, cadre, the facility, and which module you'll work in. The manual records each user against a facility and a role, so if you've moved, say from a dispensary in Kondoa to a health centre in Chamwino, ask for your account to be updated rather than assuming the old one follows you.

One person, one account. Sharing a login is a bad idea in a system that records who registered a patient, who dispensed the drugs and who received the payment. If something goes missing, the login name is what gets checked.

How to sign in

What you type into the browser depends on how your facility's system is set up, and that varies by version (more on that below). Three things are certain from the official material:

  1. Use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. The manual names both as the preferred browsers.
  2. Open the address your ICT officer gave you. Older installations ran on a local network address inside the hospital. The current centralised version runs online. The sign-in form I could confirm is the GoTHOMIS Dashboard, which asks for a username and a password.
  3. Enter both, then sign in. Your modules load on the dashboard according to your role.

The GoTHOMIS home page lists services but, as far as could be checked, doesn't offer a public login button. Several blogs point readers there as "the login page". If yours doesn't work, ask your ICT officer which address your facility uses.

First login and password reset

The password you were given first is a default one. The manual says to change it straight away, from the menu icon at the top left, under Change Password.

Forgot it later? Per the manual, password recovery is handled by the system administrator, who checks your username and sets a new password for you. Some websites describe a "Forgot Password" email link, but that isn't in the official manual, so don't count on it. Send your username to the ICT officer or facility administrator and ask for a reset.

Which version is your facility running?

This confuses people more than anything else. GoTHOMIS has changed over the years. Version 3 was in wide use for years (the system dates from 2015). An improved version 4 followed, with training reported at facilities such as Nachingwea in March 2022. And in 2024 the rollout moved to what health officials call the Centralised GoTHOMIS, with training for facility in-charges and ICT officers in places like Ruangwa in October 2024.

According to a TAMISEMI ICT specialist speaking in Mara in early 2024, the improved system doesn't need ICT equipment installed at each facility. The facility needs working devices and an internet connection.

The end-user manual linked above dates from around 2018. Menus have moved since then. Use it for the logic (roles, password change, modules), not as a screen-by-screen guide.

When the login fails

  • "Invalid credentials". Retype both fields slowly. Check Caps Lock. If it keeps failing, the manual says the account may no longer be usable, and you should contact support.
  • Blank or generic error. Often a connection problem, not a wrong password. Check that you're on the facility network or have data before you blame the account.
  • Login works but modules are missing. Your role hasn't been set up properly. Ask the administrator to assign the right one.
  • Slow or frozen screens. Write down the time and the exact error message, then report both to your ICT officer.

Cautions

  • Enter your password only on TAMISEMI or other .go.tz addresses given by your ICT team. Don't trust sites that say they'll "activate" a GoTHOMIS account for a fee.
  • Nobody legitimate needs your password. Don't give it to colleagues, agents or anyone on WhatsApp.
  • Log out on shared computers at the reception desk or the pharmacy counter.
  • Don't confuse GoTHOMIS with other health systems. The Ministry of Health DHIS2 portal is a separate reporting system, and its login page says to contact the MOH-HMIS Unit for access credentials. A GoTHOMIS account won't open it.
  • Third-party guides quote things like 90-day password rules and 30-minute timeouts. None of that appears in the official manual. Ask your administrator what applies to you.

If you're a patient

You won't log in. The system works behind the counter. What you'll notice is that you're registered once, your visit follows you from the reception to the doctor, the lab and the pharmacy, and the bill comes from the system instead of being decided at the counter. A 2018 council newsletter quoting TAMISEMI project staff described exactly this: service prices are set in the system, and medicine can't be dispensed unless the patient has been registered and seen by a doctor.

Where the facility is linked to GePG, payment is usually by control number. If you want to see what a bill is for before you pay, use the GePG bill lookup. Keep your receipt.

A study published in 2026 reports that GoTHOMIS links with NIDA, NHIF and GePG for registration, insurance checks and payment. So bring your NIDA number and insurance card if you have them, but a facility can tell you what it will actually ask for.

Have a complaint about service? Use the TAMISEMI feedback page or speak to the facility in-charge or the council health office.

Contacts

No verified GoTHOMIS helpline number turned up on official pages, so none is listed here. Start locally: the facility in-charge, then the council ICT officer, then the Council Health Management Team (CHMT). For anything beyond the council, the OR-TAMISEMI website links to its contact and feedback pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register for GoTHOMIS myself? No. An administrator creates the account and assigns a role. Ask your facility in-charge or council ICT officer.

Can I check my medical records or hospital bill online? No public patient portal was found on official pages. Ask the facility for your records and receipts.

Is GoTHOMIS the same as the Ministry of Health's DHIS2? No. GoTHOMIS is TAMISEMI's facility system for daily patient services. DHIS2 is used for national health reporting, and the two have separate logins.

Does it need internet? The current centralised version is online. Older versions could work locally, and a 2026 study mentions offline functions to cover outages. Ask your ICT officer how your facility handles a lost connection.
