mHealth in Bangladesh (link)

Using mHealth to reduce maternal mortality in Bangladeshi villages | Center for Health Market Innovations (CHMI):

The Sajida worker greeted the family and started recording information according to her checklist. I noticed the mother had kept the copy of her records from her pregnancy. After the examination, the community health worker uploaded the information via her mobile phone. The doctor reviewed the information and gave advice instantly via this mobile link. The mother told me she was satisfied to get advice from the doctor at no cost while sitting in her home. While there is no fee for checkups for microfinance program members, Sajida Foundation charges for diagnostic tests, for example pregnancy and diabetes tests. The process took only 30 minutes from beginning to end.
