One of my favorite examples, the IRC, International Rescue Committee, they have a program where semi-literate midwives, using $10 mobile phones, send a text message using our software, once a week, with the number of births and the number of deaths, which gives IRC something that no one in global health has ever had: a near-real-time system of counting babies, of knowing how many kids are born, of knowing how many children there are in Sierra Leone,
我最喜欢的例子之一，是IRC 国际救援委员会， 他们的程序，能让半文盲的产婆们 用10美元的手机 通过我们的软件每周发送一次短信息 出生的数量 死亡的数量， 这是在全球健康组织都不曾有过的东西： 一个近乎实时的记录新生儿的系统， 能知道有多少婴儿出生了， 能知道儿童的数量是多少
