How Can Digital Health Technologies Bridge Disparities in Maternal Health Outcomes in Nepal

This research will focus on digital health technologies for maternal health in Nepal, complemented by comparative studies of digital health technologies in Cambodia, Indonesia, and India to assist in developing context-specific recommendations. While significant infrastructural, educational and health investment is necessary to truly elevate Nepal’s maternal health outcomes, our paper prioritises recommendations that can be mobilised within the current state of development. As such, while we propose recommendations that primarily address Nepal’s Ministry of Health and Population, we emphasise that collaboration across government departments is crucial. Where investment in maternal health technologies in low- and middle-income countries is low, our paper argues the importance of prioritising solutions that circumvent systemic and structural obstacles while addressing the needs of those already operating at the interface of health systems and communities.
