According to Ronsmansand Graham ,maternalhealth is one of the most important indicators of the success of
a country’s health system, and maternal mortality rates are still predominantly high in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. The Safe Motherhood Initiative is a framework to tackle and improve maternal health globally and the target for the fifth Millennium Development Goal (MDG) is to reduce maternal mortality by 75% between 1990 and 2015. Considering these goals it may be especially pertinent to consider relevant ways to tackle maternal morbidity and mortality in resource-poor settings. Lund et al.
 claim that maternal health interventions involving mobile phone usage increased access to antenatal care (ANC) services in Zanzibar. This finding may indicate that mHealth interventions in low-income settings would be one important means to improve health outcomes.
