Brief summary (registry, in English)
Globally, leading causes of death among children one month to 5 years old are pneumonia, diarrheal disease and malaria which are treatable early in the disease-course with low-cost medications. However, these diseases can progress to emergencies when access to care is delayed. In response, a telemedicine and medication delivery service (TMDS) was designed to improve nighttime access to pediatric care and treatment. The TMDS will be implemented in three distinct Ghanaian community to evaluate the clinical safety, operational feasibility of implementing,and scalability of the service.
