Effect of a mobile phone-based interactive voice response on common childhood illnesses in Ghana: a quasi-experimental study
This study underscores the effectiveness of a mobile phone-based health information system intervention in curbing common childhood morbidities, particularly diarrhoea and presumptive malaria, among under-five children in rural Ghana. This approach demonstrates promise in advancing child health outcomes and contributing to the reduction of prevalent illnesses in resource-constrained settings.
