governments to engage with the private sector in Liberia, to an emergency
referral system providing life-saving emergency transport to women and babies
in Tanzania. We are currently supporting the Ministry of Health in Zanzibar to
implement a national digitally-enabled community health system which will
utilize digital tools for more than 2,000 community health workers and their
