It Will be MHealth Now, UN to Marshall Mobile Technology
It has teamed up with the Vodafone, and the Rockefeller Foundation's mHealth Alliance for the purpose.
The partnership is now calling for more members to help in mHealth initiatives.
The groundbreaking "mHealth for Development" study produced by the UN/Vodafone Foundation Partnership lists more than 50 mHealth programmes from around the world, showing the benefits that mobile technology can bring to healthcare provision.
Simply connecting rural areas with city doctors using mobile broadband would allow the provision of better healthcare to more people, and many of the initiatives to date have focused on that kind of connection, it is pointed out.
In 2007, the GSMA supported Ericsson in its Gramjyoti project, providing broadband to the remote Indian villages in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
A band of paramedics in a mobile broadband-equipped van visited the villages and were able to cover vast areas, referring many queries back to doctors in major cities.
In India, there are 1m people that die each year purely because they can't get access to basic healthcare, it has been pointed out.
Because 3G mobile technology is cheap and easily made widespread, comparatively small amounts of investment can wreak great change in these so-called emerging markets.
Andrew Gilbert, European president of Qualcomm, says that his firm has launched 29 different programmes across 19 countries, involving some 200,000 people, as part of its Wireless Reach campaign.
