Sigedoles stands for Sistema de Gestión de Donantes de Leche Humana (Human Milk Donor Management System). It is a digital platform and software application developed under the oversight of the Ministerio de Salud to streamline, regulate, and monitor the entire chain of human milk donation.
Before Sigedoles, the process of donating milk was largely manual, paper-based, and prone to administrative errors. Potential donors often faced bureaucratic hurdles, while hospitals lacked real-time data on milk bank inventories. Sigedoles was designed to solve these problems by providing a centralized, transparent, and efficient digital ecosystem.
| Pros | Cons | | :--- | :--- | | Centralization: Eliminates the loss of physical files and allows for better statistical tracking of public health. | Instability: Servers often go down during critical periods (payroll, contract renewals). | | Traceability: You can see exactly where a document is in the approval chain. | Poor UX/UI: The interface is dated, non-intuitive, and difficult to navigate on mobile devices. | | Standardization: Forces a standard format for medical and administrative records nationwide. | Connectivity Issues: Requires a stable internet connection; not optimized for low-bandwidth areas. | | Transparency: Reduces discretion in document handling and processing times. | Authentication Issues: Problems with the integration of the RENIEC DNIe (Digital ID) often block access. |
