Saving Lives using ICTs: Delivering Affordable, Quality Healthcare in Developing Countries

Presenter: Zahara Khan (Sehat First)

Developing countries face critical human development challenges. Advancements in ICTs present a unique opportunity to overcome these challenges. A social entrepreneur will provide a "firsthand account" of how a group of organizations is using ICTs (Mobile devices, RFID, VOIP Phones, OpenSource Software) to save the lives of underserved people in Pakistan by delivering affordable, quality healthcare. The presenter will also share how participants can get involved in these initiatives.
