AppLab Uganda introduced in 2009 a mobile health service application which provides information tips on health care. The application answers in particular questions pertaining to non-communicable diseases, HIV/AIDS, family planning methods, pregnancy, delivery or early infancy. In order to receive information tips, the user can send a text a question to the number 6001. The application will then, in return, send back an answer. Text queries for the health application are for free. The service also offers a Clinic Finder tool, which allows users to locate the nearest hospital, including opening hours and services provided.
