Adaptation and Feasibility of the PANDA E-Health System (PANDA-Feasibility Study)

In Tanzania, most women attend one antenatal visit but only half attend four or more. Women value antenatal care, but attendance is influenced by quality of care and provider interactions. E-health tools such as PANDA support diagnosis, respectful care, communication, and improved continuity of ANC attendance.
