Cell Phone Use Helps Health Care In Africa?

Summary:
This article is about how cell phone use has boosted the number of health care of malaria done correctly to the youth in Africa. Workers randomly chose to receive twice a day reminders to their phones to handle malaria. Six months later, the health care workers were better at treating it. Cell phones have penetrated much in Africa, to places that have never even had landlines because of the expenses and robbery. The messages would remind them when to test and how to prescribe weight- based dosages. Since each text cost less then a penny, they all can get their reminders and help the youth in Africa.
