Abstract :
Two separate projects have been carried out to implement m-health programs in India and Iraq, and, for each, this paper describes the work performed by the teams involved, presents results and details a number of lessons learned. In general, it is found that although India and Iraq have very different medical priorities, they pose similar issues when introducing m-health strategies.
