Abstract
With Ghana striving to reach its Millennium Development Goals, the government
has employed various tactics to improve healthcare delivery in Ghana. One of these
strategies involves deploying Community Health Workers to rural areas to provide residents
of such areas with good healthcare. As a result, various Community Health Centers have
been set up in rural areas, and Community Health Workers have to attend to the healthcare
needs of these communities. In recent past, mobile technology has been used to improve the
efficiency of Community Health Workers in theses areas. As such, a group of Ashesi
students and faculty developed an mHealth application to also help Community Health
Workers in various ways. This project presents a Child Welfare Module to be integrated
with the existing mHealth application, Yaresa.
