Hospital management system for Southern Africa
Izipo Medical: the complete system for running a hospital.
One system for the clinical side and the business side, set up, hosted and supported by Izipo for your hospital or group.
The system
What Izipo Medical is
Izipo Medical replaces the separate programs a hospital runs for records, the lab, the pharmacy, billing, accounts and payroll with one system, where every department works on the same patient record. It brings together a clinical system, a laboratory information system (LIS), a PACS for imaging and an ERP for finance and HR, built on proven open source health and business software. Izipo joins them up, sets them up for each hospital and looks after them.
What you get
The software
Clinical records, wards, lab, imaging, pharmacy, billing and medical aid, finance, HR and payroll, a patient portal and AI, in one system with one login per person.
Set up for your hospital
Your wards and beds, price lists, medical aid schemes, staff, forms and print-outs, and your existing patient records brought across.
Hosting and support
On your own servers or hosted by Izipo, with training for every role, help when you go live and regular updates.
Who it is for
Private hospitals
Clinical care, billing and medical aid claims in one place.
Hospital groups
Each hospital sees its own patients; head office sees the group.
Clinics and day hospitals
Start with the front desk, consultations, pharmacy and the till.
Public and mission hospitals
Coded diagnoses for ministry returns, on servers you control.
Made for Southern African hospitals
- Medical aid claims with ICD-10 codes, scheme and patient shares, and remittances
- Prices and accounts in Namibian dollars, or your own currency
- Namibian PAYE, social security and labour-law leave built in; other countries' rules as settings
- Keeps working on a slow or broken internet line when run on your own server
Why hospitals choose it
What sets Izipo Medical apart
Coded diagnoses
Diagnoses coded as the doctor types
The doctor picks the diagnosis in plain words; the system keeps the code. Claims, reports and ministry returns use it, with nobody looking codes up.
ICD-10 and SNOMED CT: the international code lists for diagnoses, used by medical aids and ministries.
See the clinical recordMedicine safety
A warning before the wrong medicine is given
Every prescription is checked against the patient's other medicines, allergies and conditions while the doctor is writing it.
CDSS (clinical decision support): rules that check clinical work as it happens.
See AI and decision supportInteroperability
Speaks the language other systems speak
Lab analysers, imaging machines, other hospitals, medical aid switches and payments connect through open standards, not one-off links.
HL7 FHIR for health records, DICOM for images, LOINC for lab tests.
See standards and securityBuilt for groups
Many hospitals, one system
Each hospital has its own wards, stores, prices and staff, and sees only its own patients. Head office sees the whole group.
Multi-facility: one installation, every hospital kept apart, the group seen as one.

Questions hospitals ask
Can one system run several hospitals?
Yes. Each hospital is set up on its own, with its own wards, stores, prices and staff. Staff see only their own hospital's patients, unless their role allows more.
What happens when the internet is down?
When Izipo Medical runs on a server in your hospital, wards, pharmacy and billing keep working without the internet. Claims and online payments go out when the line is back.
Can we keep the lab or imaging system we already have?
Usually, yes. Izipo Medical connects to other systems with HL7 FHIR and DICOM, the standards most lab and imaging systems use.
Where is our data kept, and who owns it?
You own your data. It stays on the servers you choose, in open standard formats you can take with you.
Is the AI assistant safe with patient data?
Names and identifiers are never sent to the AI model, every question is logged, and only staff with the AI permission can use it, for patients they may already see.
How long does it take to go live?
That depends on the size of the hospital and the modules you start with. We agree a plan with you up front; most of the work is setting up your prices, staff and forms, and training.
