Gender transformative approaches in mHealth for maternal healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This review focuses on studies about digital health interventions in sub-Saharan Africa. Digital health interventions in sub-Saharan Africa are increasingly adopting gender-transformative approaches to address factors that derail women's access to maternal healthcare services.
