Description
In the Kgakololo Project PING has developed an SMS-based support, reminder and information system for patients living with HIV/AIDs. The system provides patients with medication and doctor appointment reminders, feedback to questions and assistance in emergency situations via SMS and toll free phone number. The service is completely free for all patients enrolled. The Kgakololo Project is in feasibility study phase at the IDCC at Princess Marina Hospital in Gaborone and Baylor Children’s Clinic in Gaborone. The goal of this project is to improve the lives and quality of care for people living with HIV/AIDs in Botswana by giving them access to both information and support.
