Making mHealth Work for All

Rapid increases in access to mobile phones and the internet in LMICs countries have stimulated interest in the potential contribution that ICTs can make towards increasing access to safe, affordable and effective health services. This has encouraged investment in the development of applications of these technologies. At the same time, governments and international agencies have prioritised measures aimed at making progress towards universal health coverage (UHC) and the new sustainable development goals (SDGs), by strengthening health systems. There has, however, been insufficient communication between researchers and innovators working on these parallel issues.
