HMSB / Maternal and Child Health

The project makes easily understandable maternal health information accessible to expectant and new mothers in an interactive setting at a distance, using mobile technology by delivering weekly SMS in English to literate women and their partners and voice calls to non literate women and their partners in their preferred local language. The messages are transmitted weekly and are tailored according to the gestation period of the expectant women.
The project aims at contributing to the reduction of maternal and infant mortality rates in Ghana.
The project complements Ghana Health Service efforts at reducing maternal and newborn mortalities.
