We are doing a study to help women in rural Rwanda who had a c-section (a surgery to deliver a baby). Some women have problems after the surgery, but these problems can be hard to catch early, especially if they live far from a hospital. We want to see if using a special phone app with help from community health workers (CHWs) can find these problems sooner. We'll compare this new method to the way things are usually done now. We also want to know: How long it takes to find problems using the app vs. the usual way If the app is used the right way How much money families have to spend on follow-up care What mothers think about the app and the help from CHWs after their c-section The goal is to see if this tool can help women stay healthy after giving birth, without putting too much stress on their families.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
