so how best we can utilise technology to reach-out millions and to bridge the demographic divide?
1.enable all health workers across the country—around 2 million—to have data-enabled smartphones. The purpose shall be that once they have access to these devices, information, content and services will automatically flow to and from the millions.
2.software applications to monitor and track government health programmes spread across maternal and child health, immunization, disease control, tuberculosis, supply chain, and forecasting of disease outbreaks, in addition to applications to manage health insurance, drugs and medicines, and community action by ASHA -accredited social health activists.
