Start Date: 31/03/2018- End Date: 29/02/2020


Project Lead(s): Aral Sürmeli

MEDAK is developing and testing HERA, a mobile application that tracks individuals’ hospital visits and treatment records to facilitate an increase in uptake of timely vaccinations and prenatal care through push notifications, health information sharing, and electronic health records. Though healthcare services are available to Syrian refugees in Turkey, the demand is limited due to foreign regulations and lower health literacy in the refugee community. As such, this project will specifically target enrollment of Syrian women and children in Turkish refugee settlements.
