Judy,

Nadi Kaonga from our mHealth team put together this email for Walter Curioso… hope it helps!

I have not been able to go through all of the following ICT policies, but believe
that some have the application of ICTs for health incorporated into

their national policies. [Most of the countries are in Africa as that
has been my focus with MVP.] This has me thinking that it would be
nice if there could be some formal ICT Policy Database online that
could be queried on various variables…maybe that will be a future

project for me.

I hope this is of some help to you. I apologise that I can not
pinpoint exactly which countries have mHealth explicitly noted in
their policy…but my guess would be Ghana, Kenya and Senegal (for
starters).

All the best,
Nadi
