eHealth Africa took part in the Africa Geospatial Forum in December of 2014. eHealth’s Frank Salet and Michael Egbe were featured presenters at the forum. Respectively, they presented on Public Health Mapping for Supporting Polio Eradication, and Mapping Nigeria on Open Street Maps (OSM).
Through examples from their own work in the field and through case studies, they used their expertise to show how adding and drawing accurate data through OSM is vital for immunization campaigns and general healthcare response time, especially in rural areas.
eHealth Africa was honored to be a part of this event, and to present techniques and information alongside our other partners for bettering healthcare response in Africa.
