Amakomaya [Mother’s Love]: mHealth project (Nepal, 2011 onwards)

April 21, 2016

Amakomaya, translated as Mother’s Love in Nepali, was initiated by a dedicated team of local ICT experts and health professionals when they received a USD4,000 grant from the Internet Society in 2011. Committed to tackle the challenges that Nepali women face during pregnancy and childbirth; and equipped with the skills to leverage opportunities, including those that the Internet and mobile communications offer, the team is making a series of breakthroughs, particularly in women’s health education, changing community practices that marginalize women, and the digitization
of health records.

The full details of the case study can be found in the following pdf: CaseStudy-Amakomaya_Nepal
