‘Ready to Parent’ app launched to ‘save’ momsThe “Ready to Parent” app, a mobile community application for first-time parents, was launched Tuesday by the Department of Health (DOH) in a bid to save mothers, as more than 10 die every day. “Safer births begin with every parent, and technology can be used to supplement consultations with doctors and visits to their community health centers. “The Department of Health is finding ways how to engage the private sector, especially how to improve the health seeking behavior of mothers out there. Moreover, FWD Digital Channel Head Alexander Sarmiento said the app has a very local context since it was created by Filipinos. Iyon ang unang delay, ‘pag hindi nila alam na may kumplikasyon iyong kanilang pagbubuntis e akala nila okay lang iyong pakiramdam nila,” the spokesperson stressed.
