Through this training, participants are expected to be able to master and understand the digital technology ecosystem such as the midwife app, dashboards for Puskesmas and regional health offices, as well as diagnostic health tools (telegraphic ECG) that detect early risk factors for Maternal mortality, infant mortality and stunting.
