  • Crowdsourcing Feedback to Improve Healthcare Systems

    “Technology made large populations possible; large populations now make technology indispensable”

    In August 2013, the World Bank Group partnered with UNICEF Uganda and the Medicines Transparency Alliance (Uganda), to leverage two platforms – U-report (http://ureport.ug/) and mTrac (http://www.mtrac.ug).
