Summary

The Malaria Day Zero Alert System was implemented in August 2011, and enabled health center staff and village malaria workers to report malaria cases via SMS.

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.

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.

The Village Malaria Workers learn how to write the malaria report that they send to the Malaria Day Zero Alert System

A staff from the Malaria Consortium, helps set up the cell phones with a non-expiring SIM card for the Village Malaria Workers to use to send in their reports to the Malaria Day Zero Alert System.

Announcement

InSTEDD would like to express our sincere appreciation to all of our partners for the years of exceptional collaboration with the InSTEDD iLab Southeast Asia and for your contribution to its success in providing important solutions for social good.

Our original vision when we established the iLabSEA was that it would ultimately become a separate entity, locally owned and operated, in a model that provides social benefit and fits within the local economy. After 13 years of service to our local community, we are thrilled to announce that InSTEDD has closed our iLabSEA and the team from the LabSEA has now established an independent social enterprise organization, Kawsang.

We are confident that Kawsang will continue to provide the excellent service that has become their leadership team’s standard.

We are excited to have you join us in celebrating the success of realizing our vision for the iLabSEA and we very much appreciate your participation in this success and continued collaboration with Kawsang.
