AB  - The advent of the world wide web heralds seamless storage, process, retrieval and dissemination of
information the world over. The use of the web technology for Healthcare Information Management System
has led to effective healthcare delivery by enabling easy and timely access to patient’s information with little
or no cost. Presently, the National Health Insurance Scheme does not have a Centralized Patient Information
System for the healthcare centres in Nigeria to access patient’s information for healthcare delivery. This study
proposes a Web-Based Database System of patients’ information repository for effective and timely access to
information when and where it is needed. The design uses the three-tier web model architecture as its
underlying technology and presents an architectural design for a Centralized Information Database System. If
the system is deployed, it will save time in accessing patients’ health information and hence, prompt healthcare
delivery will be achieved and also open a new trend for the health industries. Apache server, PHP, HTML and
MySql was used for the design.
