Example: Kenya MOH Kenya MOH routinely uses EpiSurveyor for child health, emergency polio vaccination campaigns, and many other uses. Kenya MOH taught UNICEF Kenya, who is now using EpiSurveyor to track child health activities (as well as employee travel!)
Example: TulaSalud Small Guatemalan NGO working on maternal mortality. Found EpiSurveyor online, tested it, started using it, and then sent us a wonderful video of them using it!
Example: Ontario Gov’t Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and University of Guelph are tracking veterinarian illness with EpiSurveyor in rural Canada. Ontario sent us a check for $5000 just “to say thank you for EpiSurveyor.”
