Electronic medical records (EMRs) have become increasingly adopted in healthcare settings to improve patient care and administrative efficiency. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed. Among the surveyed rural healthcare facilities in Uganda and Sudan, 65% reported high adoption rates for EMR systems. User satisfaction scores were generally positive but varied significantly by facility size and type of user (doctors vs nurses). Despite challenges, there is a growing acceptance of EMRs in both countries. Enhanced cybersecurity measures are recommended to address data security concerns identified during the study. Treatment effect was estimated with logit (pᵢ) =₀+^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
