Thank you ! Are you planning to place that documentation on the
OmniOSCE wiki ? It would be great so people has a point of reference.

Tryton is an awesome framework . It's Free (Freedom) and it allow me
and the GNU Health community to do literally everything (some of them
quite challenging) to build the Hospital and Health information system.

By the way, remember that it does have a web client too (SAO), although
I prefer the GTK for heavy users and maximum functionality (eg plugins)

Tryton is not the only component of GNU Health, especially in this
latest release, where we also focusing on the Federation model (take a
look at Thalamus https://pypi.python.org/pypi/thalamus )

PostgreSQL is solid and Free (Freedom). It's superb on scalability and
performance, and can't think of a better choice for transactional
systems as GNU Health HMIS functionality.

For the GNU Health Information Server, we are using schemaless,
document database (Mongodb).

GNU Health is around the world.

Depends on which government. Governments that care about Public Health
adopt GNU Health and the Free Software philosophy as a public good.

For most capitalist politicians and governments, Public Health, equity
and Freedom enabling software is out of their agenda.
