Abstract
Poor education, socio-economic and social status, as well as rural/remote residence are cited as primary determinants of poor health outcomes amongst ethnic minorities (EM) in Vietnam. The mMOM project implemented an innovative, integrated mobile health (mHealth) program to improve the maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) of ethnic minority women (EMW). The project reached its target audience of EMW and women living in remote areas, engaging women in their MNCH care, with acceptance of the interventions across all stakeholder groups. The report reviews project aims and outcomes as well as avenues for scaling up.
