In an age of smartphones and social media, sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Our SMS reminder system is proof of that.

Launched last year as a pilot program, the system sends automated text messages to parents reminding them of upcoming vaccination appointments, health check-ups, and nutrition counseling sessions.

Simple But Effective

The results have been remarkable:

• Vaccination appointment attendance increased by 45%
• Missed follow-up appointments decreased by 60%
• Parent satisfaction with health services improved significantly

The system works because it meets people where they are. While smartphones may be rare in rural areas, basic mobile phones are increasingly common. And a simple text message costs almost nothing to send.
