ICT has been shown to improve the healthcare system in Developing Nations. The use of cell phones in healthcare settings can potentially deliver important benefits, because of their ability to provide and improve access to communication and information resources. ICTs such as mobile phones enhance access to medical expertise and enable remote consultation. The latter provides rural healthcare workers with quick and convenient access to expert advice from healthcare experts based in urban surroundings with essential medical infrastructure. ICTs improve the links outside of the formal health infrastructure by connecting communities with healthcare providers (Kaplan, 2006). ICTs also improve access to medical and health information, often in digital journals. The use of cell phones in healthcare settings can potentially deliver important benefits, because of their ability to provide and improve access to communication and information resources. This can occur both within the healthcare system and with external resources, and with beneficiaries, such as the community.
