Description

Who we are
D-tree International harnesses the power of mobile technology to improve the quality of healthcare delivery by supporting health workers and their supervisors to consistently provide better care to their clients. D-tree's partnership model focuses on supporting existing health systems and programs by collaborating with governments, funding agencies, and NGOs to support frontline health workers in communities and at health facilities. The starting point of the work is the development and delivery of electronic protocols on mobile devices that guide health workers by prompting them to ask specific questions and take appropriate action. This is supplemented by supervisory tools, dashboards, motivation schemes and integration with health information systems and behavior change communication programs. D-tree has been a pioneer in the field since 2004 and currently has active projects in Tanzania, Malawi, Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Liberia. In close collaboration with NGO partners and Ministries of Health, D-tree has trained thousands of health workers and supervisors to use our tools to strengthen health systems.
