Mobile Phones as a Public Health Tool in Developing Nations (2/2)

 

The system cuts dependence on paper-driven communication. It gives health officials the ability to make decisions based on real-time information. In other words, the information is from right now, not weeks or months ago. With the system, health centers around the country can also receive information without any delay.

Paul Meyer says the Rwandan government spent about one million dollars to have the TRACnet system developed and put into place. TRACnet has since been expanded to other parts of Rwanda’s health care system.

Rural health centers in the Amazon Basin of Peru have been using a Voxiva system for more than 5 years. They use it to report cases of cholera, measles and other diseases. Indonesia is using Voxiva technology to follow cases of bird flu. Disease surveillance systems have also been deployed in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, India.

Paul Meyer says the technology is basic enough to have many uses. In some Peruvian cities, for example, citizens use Voxiva technology to report crimes and to interact with local government services.
