mHealth Compendium

Permanent URI for this collection

Originally developed by the African Strategies for Health (ASH) Project, the mHealth Compendiums were six annual collections of detailed information about mHealth initiatives and programs. When the ASH Project ended in 2016, the K4Health Project agreed to house an archive of the mHealth Compendium Database on the mHealth Knowledge portal.
