A practical, disciplined approach that increases capacity and optimizes resources has moved beyond its pilot phase and is scaling successfully. In Nigeria, mobile healthcare teams armed with innovative, appropriate ICT expand healthcare capacity and increase healthcare delivery to underserved rural and urban areas and boost disease reporting rates.
