NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation)—For many rural expectant and new mothers, health care providers may be far away, but new technology is bringing them close through the mobile phone, now almost ubiquitous even in the poorest corners of the world. [...]


As a result, services offering mobile health care information are proliferating. The newest, Zero Mothers Die, launched its service last week to improve maternal, newborn and child health by providing pregnant  women and new mothers with mobile health information.

A global partnership between Advanced Development for Africa Foundation (ADA), Millennia 2025 Foundation, UNAIDS, telecommunications firm Airtel and UniversalDoctor, Zero Mothers Die aims to reduce maternal mortality and health complications, and accelerate mobile phone ownership and use by at-risk pregnant women in rural areas and the education of community health care workers.
