mHero is a two-way, mobile phone–based communication system that connects ministries of health and health workers. mHero brings together existing health information systems with locally popular communication platforms to facilitate the exchange of important health information. It reduces the barriers that can exist between health workers and their support systems, playing a critical role in ensuring effective and efficient responses, particularly in a crisis.

The primary users are ministry of health and healthcare workers in facilities, labs, and other sites, as well as training participants.

mHero has been deployed in seven countries to date.
