A crash course in changing the world.
The Project Masiluleke (meaning "hope" in Zulu) shows the great potential that technology has in public health sector, by delivering HIV/AIDS and TB messages to the general public, providing counseling via cell phone, supporting HIV Self-Testing and keeping patients connected to care. This successful project shows the importance of understanding the crux of one problem, in this case the living situation of HIV positive citizens. The access to health care information was not blocked by technological limitation, but rather by wide-spread misinformation about how the disease is contracted. By using mobile device, the privacy of patients is taken into consideration and thus an easy, interdisciplinary and sustainable solution is generated.
