D-tree background…

• Health workers in clinics and community health workers are the front line of the health system, yet face high turnover and often have little training

• Challenges also exist in collecting and reporting data

• We build mobile applications to reinforce the training provided and to assist our partners in monitoring and managing the work that is done in remote locations
