Seem I just waded into a storm. Notwithstanding, I stand unconvinced about the necessity of such a feature. I do not think the aim was ever to track healthworker locations. It was to track disease incidents. I do not think anyone can provide evidence that such a feature has improved health work. Knowing where someone is at a point in time is definitely distinct from ensuring a service is provided adequately. I think there are better ways.
