By 2030, there is a projected shortfall of 1.4 million nurses in Africa. Yangama Jokwiro, Director & Senior Lecturer at VAKA Health Foundation & La Trobe University, has developed a mobile health education app to help close this skill gap so nurses in under-resourced contacts can provide the best care possible.
