Health and safety
From Shareideas
Lack of infrastructure in many developing countries, including roads and land-based phone lines, can mean that those seeking medical attention must wait weeks, and even months, to receive proper treatment. For government health agencies looking to monitor and respond to disease outbreaks, getting reliable information fast can mean the difference between life and death for many people.
The proliferation of mobile phones and related technological advances has led to major improvements in the prevention and treatment of disease – closing the gap between medical professionals and those in need of help. Mobile telephony is also being used to prevent crime and violence and improve safety, empowering citizens to play a greater role in promoting community wellbeing.
