• Description:
  Smart Paper Technology, an innovative paper-to-digital system implemented at Bundung Maternal and Child Health Hospital in The Gambia links maternal and newborn health information with immunization records. In 9 months, Smart Paper Technology facilitated over 3500 mother-child connections, replacing traditional paper-based registers and ensuring DHIS2 interoperability. This pilot enhances reporting and data availability, advancing maternal vaccine safety surveillance in resource-limited settings.
