Answer to Question #120522 in English for Silent

Question

How technology can be used to improve service provision in terms of health services and infrastructure in rural africa where people lack basic health services

Answer 1

Recently we have seen that mobile phones have been particularly important where infrastructure is limited in Africa. As mobile phones become increasingly common, they become an unexpected force in delivering better healthcare. For example, gone are the days when patients would travel to far-off clinics only to find that the medicines they wanted were no longer in stock. These days, approximately 27, 000 government healthcare givers in Uganda use a mobile health system known as mTRAC to report on medicine stocks across the country.
