I run an ngo which serves as the development office for a network of medical and nursing schools in Africa, Asia & Latin America. I suggest that you network with them since they provide services and are training the next generation of practitioners. It is the WHO sanctioned organization for educational institutions. WHO gives them no money.

The Kasiisi Project in Uganda is interested in getting health content on their laptops. We have a potential partner, StraightTalk - http://www.straight-talk.or.ug/ - which has children's health information in PDF format. Hopefully this can be translated for Haiti and other deployments. In the HealthMap conference call, we also talked about collecting reports and diagnosing health problems. eToys and Scratch are great ways for students to discuss what they're learning, but we would need forms, mesh networking, and a database for teachers to collect students' reports. Those are best accomplished with a separate activity. Fortunately, I have a BookReport activity which already uses these methods. I'd like to make this into a HealthReport activity! The best way for this to move forward would be to have a clear picture of who the first users will be, and what information they want to collect. I've put a few ideas and details on the wiki at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/HealthReport Thoughts?
