The ICU-ready hospital management system for Nigeria.
Most Nigerian hospital systems stop at the ward. DawaHQ goes into the ICU — NEWS2 early-warning with automatic escalation, SOFA organ-failure scoring, ICU & ventilator charting, a canonical vitals/labs data panel, live bed management and transfusion monitoring — on top of full EMR, pharmacy, lab, HMO billing and the NDPA 2023 audit trail a serious hospital expects.
Very few hospital management systems in Nigeria offer real critical-care capability — and almost none implement NEWS2 or SOFA. DawaHQ does. If your hospital runs an ICU, HDU or theatre, that is the difference that matters.
What makes DawaHQ ICU-ready
Every capability below ships today and is used on real wards — no “coming soon”.
NEWS2 early-warning + automatic escalation
Every vitals save scores NEWS2 in the background. A deteriorating patient is flagged and escalated automatically — the score reaches the watcher instead of sitting unnoticed on a paper chart.
SOFA organ-failure scoring
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment computed from vitals, labs and support — track organ dysfunction over the ICU stay, not in a clinician’s head.
ICU & ventilator charting
Structured ICU progress notes (systems review), ventilator parameters (mode, PEEP, FiO₂, tidal volume), FASTHUG-BID daily safety checklist and dialysis charting.
Canonical data panel
The latest vitals, the latest lab per parameter (with critical/abnormal flags) and today’s fluid I/O surfaced in one place on the ICU note — no re-typing numbers, no split-brain.
Live bed & ward management
Real-time ICU/HDU and ward occupancy that always matches who is actually admitted. Admit, transfer and discharge keep every bed in sync — no phantom occupied beds.
Blood transfusion monitoring
A structured transfusion record with timed monitoring observations and reaction flagging — the safety chart a free-text note loses.
Operating theatre & recovery
Pre-op checklist, intra-op notes and post-op recovery with Aldrete readiness scoring before a patient leaves PACU for the ward, ICU or home.
Sepsis bundle tracking
Hour-1 and Hour-3 sepsis bundles with time-to-completion, lactate, cultures and antibiotic timing.
Most Nigerian HMS stop at the ward. DawaHQ goes into the ICU.

What is NEWS2 and why does it matter?+
NEWS2 (National Early Warning Score 2) is the standard early-warning score for spotting a deteriorating patient. In DawaHQ it is computed automatically on every vitals save and escalates a high score — so deterioration is caught early instead of being missed.
Is it built for Nigerian hospitals?+
Yes — Naira pricing, NHIA/HMO billing, NDPA 2023 consent and audit trail, and it is designed to work under real Nigerian conditions. The critical-care tooling sits on top of full EMR, pharmacy, lab and billing.
Is it NDPA compliant?+
