Cell Phone Training for TBAs

eHealth Nigeria partnered with the Population Council to teach a group of TBAs how to use cell phones to report maternal and child health events. The training began with basic number recognition and ended with the TBAs learning how to send text messages. The TBAs, who are located in a village outside of Zaria, Nigeria, are currently texting vital maternal and child health events into a server, which then sends alert text messages to local doctors and midwives in the Zaria are who can respond appropriately to the situation.
