Naming matters. I can't see this without instantly thinking it is about delicious sandwiches.

Why the name Bahmni?

The first implementation of Bahmni took place at Jan Swasthya Sahyog (JSS), a hospital that has been instrumental in pioneering this open source work. Bahmni is named after a village 70km north of the small town of Bilaspur, India where one of three village health centers of JSS hospital is located. The work being done by JSS at Bahmni village is very inspirational to us and hence the name was chosen.

As a Medical Doc and a health tech entrepreneur current living in Bilaspur. I find this fascinating. But I think the village where JSS is located is called as Ganiyari ??

Yes, JSS is in Ganiyari. About 15 kms from Bilaspur.
