We recently held a workshop with @UNICEF & #Mozambique’s Ministry of Health to gather feedback from stakeholders about upSCALE — a digital health intervention that uses apps to assist community health workers. It will now include a module to identify under-immunised children.📱💉

A must read: The potential impacts of the incoming US administration on free speech in higher education. Clearly the battle is not really about free speech, but about suppressing non desirable speech in favour of the values of Trump and his backers.
