A Cost-Effective and Evidence-Based Way to Save Lives

How it Works

Charity Science Health is a charity headquartered in Vancouver, Canada and New Delhi, India. It was founded with a mission of applying evidence and rigorous analysis to improve human lives throughout the world. Based on analysis of existing research, we identified SMS health reminders as a highly cost-effective intervention for saving lives and improving health in India.

The program targets pregnant women and new mothers for their antenatal and prenatal care. Participants in the program receive regular, concise SMS messages on their cell phones, reminding them when it is time to bring their child to a healthcare facility for vaccination. This has been shown to improve vaccination rates by between 8.7% and 17.5%, and thus protect patients and their communities from preventable illness and death.

We've Built the Infrastructure, Now We Need to Expand Our Reach 

Charity Science has built the needed foundation to improve vaccination rates with SMS reminders. That is why we are partnering with hospitals, and health worker associations like you to expand the reach of our program. We can help you improve the quality of care for mothers and children and enhance your reputation as an innovative, forward-thinking leader in children's health.
