Funded by
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation (CNHF)
When
2016–2017
What
Digital health technology has the potential to broaden the reach and strengthen the capacity and efficiency of health systems in countries where a high disease burden and a lack of health system capacity impede efforts to provide effective, high-quality healthcare. Do the women religious who provide leadership, management, and care in Catholic and other faith-based health facilities have the needed skills to introduce these technologies in their facilities? To answer this question, CMMB partnered with KPMG and Health Enabled to conduct a landscape analysis and capacity assessment of selected women religious in six countries. The first phase of the project has been completed. A proposed second phase will build the capacity of religious women and pilot the introduction of digital technology in two locations.
