Introduction

The health sector in India is broken. A number of children die every year because their parents do not know general things or various government vaccination or medicines schemes in their area. With echildcare - SMS application, parents can register with a simple SMS and now they will receive general advice for child care, various medicines/vaccination to be given to their child on exact dates.

Project Features

• Users can register with the service with simple SMS.

• Now they will receive notifications about medicines, vaccination centres in their area. Also other government schemes.

• The messages will be customized for users according to date of birth of child.

• The scheduling of messages will be done automatically. Manual action is not required.

• The admin will have access through web interface.

• Notifications will be sent on SMS/E-mail.

Data is power

• This will also act as Birth registration system.

• Corruption can be controlled as government has record of medicines required in a particular area.

Why not Web or Mobile apps?
