Notice B: Medic Mobile - Building a Community of Practice

Primary Author: Julie Smith

Medic Mobile (MM) is a 501(c)(3) public charity that was founded in 2010 to improve health in communities that are hardest to reach. We
serve this mission by building, delivering, and supporting mobile tools that help community health workers, managers, and clinical teams work
together to provide equitable care. Our offices in Nairobi, Kathmandu, and San Francisco and 82 staff support partners in 23 countries. The
open-source software toolkit supports more than 20,000 health workers, improving community health systems for more than 1 million families.
We envision a world where community health workers (CHWs) are supported as they provide care for their neighbors. MM believes highquality
care can be provided through integrated, community-based health systems. CHWs rely on the software to support safe pregnancies,
ensure complete vaccinations for children, treat and refer quickly for childhood illnesses, screen and deliver supplements for maternal and child
malnutrition, serve as early reporters for infectious disease outbreaks, manage stock levels for essential medicines, and coordinate with their
management and clinical care teams.
