This study tested a mobile phone tool designed to help community health workers support women after cesarean birth in rural Rwanda. Community health workers were trained to use the tool during home visits to check symptoms and share information with health facilities. The workers found the tool easy to use and helpful, and their performance using it was strong. Overall, the tool was well accepted and could help community health workers safely follow up women after cesarean birth, especially in rural areas.
