mHealth4Afrika: Strengthening Primary Healthcare Delivery in Resource Constrained Environments
Miriam Cunningham, Chief Operations Officer, IIMC International Information Management Corporation
This presentation will share insight into the co-design of a modular, open-source health information system, designed to improve primary healthcare delivery in resource constrained environments. The objectives are to assist primary healthcare facilities to increase: quality and impact of care; frequency of contact (focus on prevention); accuracy and quality of monthly aggregate program indicators; and access to educational materials for clinic staff (supporting continuous professional medical education) and patients (supporting a prevention strategy).
Innovating for Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 To end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age by 2030.
Dr N.N Sipula CEO & Founder of WatIF Health Portal
This presentation will focus on how the WatIF Health Portal continues to leverage ICT as a Health-work-force multiplier and a potent tool for incorporating lay people into mainstream clinical work to deliver easy to adopt, highly scalable health solutions in resource constraint societies. It will demonstrate how ICT is leveraged to turn play-schools/creches into extended centers of preventative health care for children under five years, to deliver a comprehensive, integrated health screening program for early detection and preventative case finding for children at risk that incorporates a life-long child immunisation tracking program. It will demonstrate how the program strengthens National Health Systems by unearthing a health-work-force never before imagined, while generating a country-wide actionable central database of children’s health needs that can be shared with existing District Health Information Systems that are HL7 compatible, at little or no cost to government.
