An Innovative App is Bridging the Gap Between Vulnerable Communities and Specialized Healthcare in South Africa
The first-of-its-kind app provides a safe and secure platform for health workers to refer patients and share advice.
Since 2014, Vula Mobile has provided a cost-effective digital solution to make specialized healthcare accessible to remote, underserved South African communities. The Johnson & Johnson Center for Health Worker Innovation, with support from the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, is working to grow the usage of Vula Mobile in the public health sector in South Africa. The collaboration is focused on supporting nurses by connecting them to specialist services and strengthening data analytics for referrals and health communication.
