Strategic Meeting: Axari Hotel, Calabar, Nigeria

Representatives of Canadian Red Cross, DataDyne, and HealthBridge met for a series of strategic meetings at the Axari Hotel in Calabar, Nigeria. This week there will be a PDA-based survey done using EpiSurveyor to determine the coverage rate of insecticide treated bednets among children less than five years old and pregnant women.  The group as a whole was eager to proceed, as evidenced by the photos attached.

In a technical note, while we're happily moving to support mobile phones for data collection, we also recognize that there are a lot of EpiSurveyor users out there with Palm devices, so we're happy to demonstrate that the older technology is still useful for public health data collection.
