Maternal healthcare support to healthcare workers using the national digital ID

Papua New Guinea’s geography and dispersed population make maternal healthcare difficult in rural areas. Health workers often lack training and real-time support, and struggle to access medical guidance due to poor connectivity.

This use case proposes a maternal care support system with SevisPass Digital ID authentication. Verified health workers can log in, access maternal care resources, and record patient outcomes and share updates with provincial hospitals. Authorities can track key health indicators and monitor rural centers.
