“Cell phones have cut dramatically the number of women dying during childbirth in Amensie village in south-central Ghana, according to local health officials….Before cell phone and internet technology were introduced to Amensie, some 20 women died in childbirth each year, according to Owusu. In 2008 none did. On average 560 women die during childbirth or from pregnancy complications per 100,000 live births in Ghana, according to the UN.”
