SUMMARY

In collaboration with The National Center for Parasitology, Entomology and Malaria Control (CNM), CamGSM Co. Ltd (also known as Mobitel) and funded by the Malaria Consortium (MC), Malaria Day Zero Alert System, which was implemented in August 2011, is a web-based application that enables health center staff (HC) and village malaria workers (VMWs) in provincial villages to report malaria cases via SMS text alerts to a centralized system. Once centralized, malaria case reports can be resent to areas where outbreaks are probable, as well as elevated up to the national level where emergency action can be taken if necessary.

ADDITIONAL MEDIA

The participants (Village Malaria Workers) learn how to use a solar panel system during this training. CNM donated solar panels & cell phones to all VMWs. Solar panes being used to charge the cell phones.
