Beyond Neglect: Leveraging Technology for Effective NTD Control in Africa

By Navya

"Beyond Neglect: Leveraging Technology for Effective NTD Control in Africa" tackles the challenge of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) through the revolutionary lens of electronic health information systems (eHIS). For decades, paper-based systems hampered data collection and hindered progress in controlling these diseases. This book explores the groundbreaking potential of eHealth, using the example of Mozambique's implementation of an mHealth system based on DHIS2. You'll discover how eHealth empowers informed decision-making, improves resource allocation, and ultimately paves the way for better care and disease control. "Beyond Neglect" offers a practical roadmap, highlighting factors that can influence successful eHealth integration within the NTD sector. This book is a beacon of hope, showcasing how technology can bridge the gap and bring neglected tropical diseases to the forefront of the healthcare landscape in Africa.
