A PR Newswire release announces “SMS for Life,” a partnership between IBM, Novartis and Vodafone with the Roll Back Malaria Partnership to improve the availability of anti-malarial drugs in remote areas of Tanzania. The initiative combines mobile phones, SMS and simple web tools to track and manage stock levels of Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT) and Quinine injectables at local health facilities, helping to reduce the stock-outs that contribute to preventable malaria deaths.
