Information Communications Technology for Development Project (ICT4D) enables the midwives to phone a doctor or obstetrician 24 hours a day, seven days a week whenever they find a patient at risk or face a challenging delivery. Through the program, more than 200 Acehnese midwives and local midwife coordinators have been trained in new skills including difficult deliveries and data collection. Over 100 were also provided with a mobile phone and instructions on how to use it
