This App provides a great platform to raise awareness among Nepalis, particularly women while it also creates an opportunity for those working in the health sector in Nepal to expand outreach on information related to pregnancy and reproductive health. It provides easy access to information essential for women—all the details are outlined in concrete steps. The next step would be to think about the best way to roll out this App in collaboration with various health sector stakeholders so that more women (and family members) are able to utilize this excellent resource.
Wonderful App in Nepali

Easily understandable and relatable. This will be very helpful in today’s setting to Nepali women who have reach to smartphone. Recommended!!
