Delivering e-Health and m-Health Solutions
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, one of the largest foundations dedicated to alleviating human suffering in the world, recently partnered with CMMB to help build capacity and deliver innovation in e-Health and m-Health (electronic and mobile health), at both an institutional and individual level, with mission hospitals in Kenya, South Sudan, Zambia, Haiti, Mexico and Peru. All six countries struggle to tackle the high burden of disease against the backdrop of shortages of healthcare professionals, facilities and medical resources. Healthcare technology offers possibilities to address these challenges, and strengthen and increase efficiency of health systems while improving access for the most marginalized and excluded populations. The pilot will have a two-phased approach including a thorough landscape analysis to understand the realities of the health systems in these countries and an implementation phase to build capacity, competence and confidence of the Sisters who operate as leaders and practitioners in the hospitals.
