MoMo Kamapala – April 29th – The Power of Tech for mHealth
Posted on: April 19, 2013 – Filed under: Kampala
You are cordially invited to participate at our next MoMo mHealth meeting to be hosted by Hive Colab Monday 29th April starting 5:30 PM.
Mobile phone ownership by health facility workers is quickly becoming universal. With advances in the electronic management of human resources and powerful SMS communications tools, it is now possible to eliminate the traditional bottlenecks of distance and time. Whether mobilizing health workers for an immunization campaign, polling them on whether the most recent delivery of medicines arrived, or simply connecting them with their District supervisors to answer basic questions, mobile phones have already changed the way in which we communicate.
New opportunities call for new strategies, as the mobile phone revolution in Africa has opened doors that didn’t exist even a few years ago. In our next MoMo event, we will be discussing with Government, United Nations, Non Government Organizations, and the Private Sector emerging strategies and best practices, as well opportunities to create further synergies between existing tools.
An international panel of experts will describe the current state of play, emerging trends, and will want to hear your views. We expect a good turnout so please register if you intend to participate.
