World Bank Day is a unique, one-day workshop at the mHealth Summit that will seek innovative ideas from practitioners and policymakers in the mobile health field.  Bringing together over 30 leading experts, the workshop will explore lessons from specific cases studies and country perspectives in the context of scaling up mobile innovations in the World Bank Health Sector Projects.
 
The event is co-sponsored by World Bank Group, UN Foundation/mHealth Alliance and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), as well as the National Institutes of Health and others.  Central to the discussion is the role of mobile phone-enabled health innovations that may improve the health and welfare of disadvantaged and underserved global communities.  Case- and country-specific data and experiences will be shared and explored, with critical discussion about what has worked, what hasn’t and how mobile technologies can play a larger role in public health.
