Beyond Neglect: Leveraging Technology for Effective NTD Control in Africa tackles the challenge
of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) through the revolutionary lens of electronic health
information systems (eHIS). For decades paper-based systems hampered data collection and
hindered progress in controlling these diseases. This book explores the groundbreaking
potential of eHealth using the example of Mozambique's implementation of an mHealth system
based on DHIS2. You'll discover how eHealth empowers informed decision-making improves
resource allocation and ultimately paves the way for better care and disease control. Beyond
Neglect offers a practical roadmap highlighting factors that can influence successful eHealth
integration within the NTD sector. This book is a beacon of hope showcasing how technology can
bridge the gap and bring neglected tropical diseases to the forefront of the healthcare
landscape in Africa.
