Strengthening health system: using mobile phones for coordinated community case management of childhood diarrhea and pneumonia in District Badin, Pakistan

Fourth evaluation of Lady Health Worker’s Program identified weak supervision of Lady Health Workers (LHWs) by their supervisors (LHSs) as a determinant of poor community case management of childhood diarrhea and pneumonia. Weak supervision was explained by lack of coordination among them. To improve coordination between LHWs and LHSs, this study used mobile phones for timely case reporting by LHWs and supervisory follow-up by LHSs.
