What if all your healthcare needs were a text message away? In this first episode of our special series with the Skoll Foundation, we speak with Debbie Rogers, CEO at Reach Digital Health, previously named Praekelt. 

Through text messaging, Reach Digital Health is not only informing people about their health. Citizens can also respond and ask questions, helping governments gain a real time understanding of the public health landscape. Through their story, Debbie reveals how mobile technology can be one’s greatest asset when trying to reach the world’s most vulnerable populations.
