Any issues regarding, training, support, etc?

Hi,
I have done some research last year and found Care2x project quite good solution for developing countries...
CARE2X - The Project
Care2x integrates data, functions and workflows in a healthcare environment. It is currently composed of four major components. Each of these components can also function individually.
HIS - Hospital/Healthservice Information System
PM - Practice (GP) management
CDS - Central Data Server
HXP - Health Xchange Protocol
