Introduction
In most African markets, the mobile phone is the primary computer. Health services designed for the phone reach far more people than services designed for the desktop.
Why mobile-first matters
Mobile-first services work on low-bandwidth networks and older devices, meeting patients where they already are.
Key takeaways
- Mobile-first is not a preference — it is the reality of access in most African markets.
Frequently asked questions
