In an attempt to address a complex disease burden, including improving progress towards MDGs 4 and 5, South Africa recently introduced a re-engineered Primary Health Care (PHC) strategy, which has led to the development of a national community health worker (CHW) programme. The present study explored the development of a cell phone-based and paper-based monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system to support the work of the CHWs.
The paper aims to contribute towards understanding the potential impact of mHealth on service delivery processes and identifying the challenges for scaling up and sustaining a mHealth M&E system for a national CHW programme.
