NCT ID NCT06024317
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether community health workers, combined with a digital reminder system, can help babies in sub-Saharan Africa get their important checkups and vaccines on time during the first year of life. About 800 pregnant women and mothers will take part. The goal is to see if this approach works better than standard care to keep young children healthy.
