Engender Health

Engender Health is an organization that works to provide knowledge and care to developing counties through its work in family planning, maternal health, gender equity and much more. All summer, my sister was in Ethiopia working for them by creating a map on Google Earth that allowed the user to see exactly where a hospital was in the entire country. This was the first time anyone had seen exactly where each hospital was. I think that this program could be taken further by having all of the hospitals linked. They could post in live time what services that are providing and what materials they have. Since Engender Health is primarly focused on women's care while pregnant, the hospitals would be able to send signals saying who at that moment would be able to provide the best maternal care, and that is where that women would go. You could set it up as an app that the public has access too, and also as solely a system between the hospitals.
