Rapidly emerging mobile communications platforms, such as mobile phones, in countries across Africa, Iraq, and Afghanistan offer new opportunities for direct public engagement in health systems, placing tools and timely information into the hands of those who need it most. Early results from pioneering work suggest real benefits of mobile devices in addressing access to care, monitoring and treating diseases, and providing continuous medical education and training. The Military Health System, a $43-billion global healthcare system within the U.S. Department of Defense, in partnership with other U.S. government agencies and nongovernmental organizations and the international health sector, can make valuable contributions to creating a sustainable global m-health infrastructure.
在非洲、伊拉克和阿富汗等国家，迅速崛起的移动通信平台（如手机）为直接公众参与卫生系统提供了新的机会，将工具和及时的信息交到最需要的人手中。开创性工作的早期成果表明，移动设备在解决获得医疗服务、监测和治疗疾病以及提供持续医学教育和培训方面具有真正的益处。美国国防部拥有价值 430 亿美元的全球医疗保健系统——军事卫生系统，与其他美国政府机构和非政府组织以及国际卫生部门合作，可以为建立可持续的全球移动医疗基础设施做出宝贵贡献。
