Bringing Care to Life
Dalberg report features Global Health Media Project
The work of Global Health Media Project is featured in a new report by Dalberg Global Development Advisors: Preparing the next generation of community health workers: the power of technology for training. The report highlights the essential role of community health workers as the only source of care for millions of people in low-resource settings.
It examines the opportunities to use multimedia digital content to provide more effective and lower-cost training for these frontline providers:
A generation ago, few would have dreamed that mobile technology would create five billion points of contact around the world or that nine out of 10 internet users in Sub-Saharan Africa would access the internet through mobile devices. They could not have imagined how innovative technologies such as Skype, Facebook, and African-born solutions like M-PESA would transform spheres of business, politics, and society.
What if these same, disruptive technologies could be applied to transform global health for the next generation?
