This article discusses how technology such as the cloud is being used to fight spreading of HIV from mother to child in third world countries. An organization called mothers2mothers, and organization based out of Ireland, is using the cloud to share patient records and information between their sites in South Africa. They are also using technology like the cloud to make heath information available to mothers.

"The system will provide easy access to up-to-date information on patient treatment plans and advanced reporting tools to provide faster and more effective access to information. In the next phase of the program, m2m employees will be able to collect and share data via basic mobile phones, creating an “always connected” environment."

This idea is really interesting because it shows how much technology is improving care that non-profit organizations are able to provide. Previously we never could have imagined something like this, especially in third world countries. If technology like this were to spread all over the world and more organizations were to get involved, we could potentially help solve a lot of the heath issues we face. I assume an issue with this, as with any technology issue would be finances as I’m sure this is not a cheap program to implement. However, if there were a way to finance programs like this, the outcome would be tremendous.
