       SPECTRUM

name ------------- types of services ------------- patient details.

Issues

• costs -- this may be difficult to collect share -- they are variable! negotiated.

Missing Needs in the Community

• veterinary services (rabies treatment for animals and people)

• research on deaths

Presentations

Potential Uses

Midwifes

• some trained midwifes
• hundreds, difficult to map
• cheaper, birth at home

Judy is interested in having midwifes report birth/deaths via Ushahidi.

• to connect with help for problems

• follow up care
• immunizations
• death certificates
