Providing LIfesaving Maternal Health Information with Mobiles in Bangladesh

Data published by Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action (MAMA) Bangladesh in November 2014 indicate considerable demand for fee-based health information services. The SHOPS project contributed to the development of this national mhealth program. In just two years, it enrolled more than one million users, including 278,000 pregnant women, 780,000 new mothers, and 96,000 family members. MAMA Bangladesh demonstrates that users are willing to pay for credible and entertaining mobile health information, which has significant implications for sustaining mhealth interventions for underserved populations.
