mHealth takes on Ebola in Nigeria

October 27, 2014 | Filed under: Africa, English, Guinea, Investigative journalism, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Society & Culture and tagged with: Erin McCann, Healthcare IT News, real-time reporting Android app, Social media, social media campaign

In what’s being hailed as a “spectacular success story,” the World Health Organization has declared Nigeria free of the Ebola virus transmission, with public health agencies and government officials citing a mobile health initiative as largely responsible for the triumph.

Shortly after the WHO declared Africa’s most populous country Ebola-free for 42 days Oct. 20, Nigerian Minister of Communication Technology Omobola Johnson credited a social media campaign and a real-time reporting Android app used during the outbreak as integral in containing the deadly virus.
