Mwanza & Iringa Community First Response Project

This project works to improve pre hospital care services in Mwanza and
Iringa region respectively with support of Beacon Software.

Beacon software is SMS/App-based emergency medical dispatching
software designed specifically for communities that cannot afford ad-
vanced dispatching technologies. By relaying an SMS from the scene
of an emergency to trained responders throughout the community, the
software enables the nearest available emergency care providers to
quickly locate, treat and transport emergency victims to local hospitals.
