Cell phones in Rwanda save lives
In an attempt to save pregnant women and babies the Rwandan government is giving out hundreds of cell phone. In the rural district of Musanze nearly 500 volunteer community health care workers have been given free phones so that they can keep track of all the pregnant women in their villages. This helps in monitoring expecting mothers.
Health workers simply send a text to their local clinic if there are any questions, complications or updates, within minutes they receive a response.
Valentine Unwingabire a 23-year-old is one of the lucky ones to have got help from these cell phones when she went into labor.
Rwanda’s heavily populated rural areas prevent ambulances or healthcare to go in there as the roads are unpaved.
