Critical Health Communications In Action
These case studies tell how Medinz is developed and rolled out in real-time to communicate trusted health messages across the sector. In New Zealand, this helps to swiftly stop the spread of Covid-19. Medinz also connects health care practitioners during a power outage in a five-day storm.
