HospitalRun is hospital management software for developing countries.

It's an ember frontend and node backend open source project maintained by a small number of great people, and also a large number of community volunteers as well.

I intend to continue contributing as I find free time, and they are very receptive to anyone willing to offer assistance.

How's it compare to bhima, "a hospital information management application for rural Congolese hospitals" that's also written in Node?

Honestly, I never looked into any "competitors". I got in touch with the maintainer while looking for projects to contribute to, and it looked like there was a good amount of work that needed doing, so I got to work.

I'm sure there are similar projects that do some things better or worse, but I can't say I've looked into them.
