Mwanza. Local authorities have pledged to support the Aga Khan Health Services’ Joining Hands Initiative, a project that fights to reduce maternal and child mortality in Mwanza and Dodoma regions.
Funded by Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the project sensitises e-health technology and mobile health (m-health) as innovations to enhance maternal and child health services.
The Mwanza regional medical officer, Dr Valentino Bangi, said recently that principally local authorities were impressed with the project and its innovations which intend to reduce the deaths of mothers and infants in the two regions.
