Health information found on your mobile
Kaushambi: Press a button on your mobile phone and hear a message concerning your health. The National Rural Health Mission is starting to lay groundwork in this direction. Quick forward motion is being made and influential trainings are soon to start.
Under direction of the National Rural Health Mission a meeting with the implementing organization was held inside the district hospital this Tuesday.
