Project description
Launched in 2015, Dawa Mobile Health is a mobile and connected health laboratory for the detection of bilharziasis within children (a major health problem in Chad). Dawa Mobile Health installs laboratories in pre-existing health centers. Contact with target groups is established by telephone. All parents wishing to do tests for children with urinary problems can send a message on a special phone number. The appointments are then made and the sampling takes place without the children having to travel further away. The results are given by SMS. Those who are positive then receive their medications directly at home by delivery.
