Volunteer Mothers Earn Health-Care Services

This concept is meant as an add-on to the "Decentralized Mobile Health Care System" submitted by Sarah Fathallah. However, it could also work with existing hospitals and health centers.

Hi Ian. Just wanted to express appreciation for your great inspiration on the maternal health challenge. It really helps us to better understand & empathize: from sharing your and your wife's experience with baby updates, to finding a blog of a midwife in Africa, to unearthing a mobile phone maternal healthcare study. And what a smart suggestion to provide text overlays to make it easier for people to understand how different ideas relate. Can't wait to see what you'll post next!
