I-MoMCARE: Innovative Mobile Technology for Maternal and Child Health Care in Cambodia-study protocol of a cluster randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Government of Cambodia established the village health support groups (VHSGs) in 2003 to facilitate primary healthcare activities, including maternal and child health (MCH) services. However, VHSGs face several challenges that hinder them from performing optimally, including a lack of regular structured training and remuneration and limited and inconsistent support and supervision from the health centers (HCs).
