EbunOS keeps a small hospital's patients, money, stock and tasks on one laptop in the building. It is built from the hospital's own paper forms, so the record looks the way the staff already work, and a task closes only when the record shows the thing was done.
Built with Ebunlomo Hospital at Idiroko, on the Nigeria–Benin border, from its own forms and on its own floor. The parallel run with paper is starting; EbunOS is not yet in live use anywhere.
What it does
Every module works on its own and with the others. A hospital switches on what it uses; nothing recorded is ever lost when a module is switched off.
Patients, sign-ins and the staff file, payers and the price book, the tasks, the audit log, the backup with a locked copy off site, and the settings — every rule with its source.
Reception and the queue, triage, the consultation note (SF-139), prescriptions, bills, payers and HMO claims with each HMO's own rules, the price book, the daily journal for the accountant.
Dispensing, walk-in sales, stock and deliveries, orders, the controlled-drug book, the treatment room, and the allergy and dose check on every prescription.
Admissions and the bed board, drug orders and the drug chart (SF-118), observations with NEWS2 and timed escalation, fluid balance, notes and handover, consent and refusal, discharge in full.
The test menu with the lab's own ranges and critical limits, requests from the consultation, the ward and walk-ins, results with flags, critical-value calls, quality control, results from the analysers.
Antenatal care and the card, the community ANC and its referrals, labour on the partograph (SF-79) with the caesarean decision record, the birth, the newborn, going home, postnatal visits.
Ultrasound and X-ray requests, the images kept beside the record (from the machine by DICOM, or uploaded), the reports and corrections, the critical-findings call, the hand-off to a reporting partner.
The staff file with an alert before a licence or certificate runs out, the duty rota and its gaps.
The theatre list and the surgical safety checklist come next; payroll, quality and compliance, and governance after that.
being builtHow it is built
The hospital's forms register, 143 forms from SF-01 to SF-142, is inside the program. Each screen is built from the form the staff already fill, and 35 of the forms print from the record with the hospital's own header and version mark.
268 rules, from the lab's critical-value call to the ward's drug-round times, each shown with the form or protocol it comes from. Where the forms give no number, EbunOS proposes one, marks it so, and waits for a doctor to confirm.
When a critical lab value is found, a task is raised for the lab with a 30-minute clock. It does not close when someone ticks it; it closes when the record shows who was told, when, and that they read the value back.
EbunOS runs on the hospital's own laptop, with or without the internet, and the tablets reach it over the building's Wi-Fi. Every night a locked copy goes off site; a practice copy with pretend patients is there for training; every release updates the records in numbered steps with a backup first.
As of 9 October 2026, release 2.2.2.
The counts are of the program as built and tested. Hospitals using EbunOS: none yet. The first, Ebunlomo Hospital at Idiroko, is starting its parallel run, in which the staff keep their paper and EbunOS is checked against it every evening before anything is switched over.
Milestones
The front desk, the pharmacy and stock, bills and HMO claims, the tasks, the practice copy. Grown out of a spreadsheet system built for a four-bed hospital.
With automatic tests on every change, and each release kept as a numbered update that runs on a hospital's existing records.
Releases 1.3 to 1.9: admissions and the drug chart, observations with NEWS2, discharge in full, consent and the incident register, the laboratory, each HMO's rules, antenatal care through to postnatal visits, one patient story and the forms printed from the record.
Releases 2.0 to 2.2.2: every rule a setting with its source, ICD-10 and ICD-11, LOINC, the analyser link, the FHIR record and the NHMIS return, ultrasound and X-ray with the DICOM link, outpatient prescribing and the treatment room, the procedure note, the transfusion record and the drug reaction report.
ebunos.com and the Nigerian and African web addresses registered; EbunOS Limited's registration begun, with two non-executive directors; the trademark filed in Nigeria.
Two weeks alongside paper, with an evening comparison of patients, money and stock, then the go-live gate. Then theatre, the cloud copy, and the assistant features — every one a draft a person confirms. Then West Africa beyond the border: Benin, Togo, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Senegal, with the screens in French where needed and each country's own forms and currency.
From the floor
When the parallel run at Ebunlomo Hospital begins, the nurse who runs it will write short notes here about what the days are like: what went smoothly, what the staff asked for, what EbunOS got wrong and how it was fixed. The notes are written from the practice copy, with pretend patients; nothing from a patient's record is ever shown.

The demo opens with pretend patients and resets itself every night. Nothing you type in it is kept.
