A Poimapper Case Study
Tearfund has been using Poimapper for monitoring maternal care clients with/without HIV in various countries. Pregnant women with HIV have a high risk for transmitting the disease to the child. Mother Buddies visit the pregnant women (the clients) according to a predefined schedule to monitor their health and give advice. The pregnant women receive SMS reminders notifying them of an upcoming visit. Mother buddies update information regarding the clients during the visits. Team leaders for the mother buddies, managers or organizations employing the mother buddies, public officials, the NGO running the operation (Tearfund) at country and head office level follow the progress made by the mother buddies.
