Abstract
► One of the major barriers for adopting Medical Information Systems in low resource setting is a lack of adequate network/communication infrastructure. ► Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) is an approach for establishing network connectivity in situations where it is possible to support physical transport of the digital information. ► This study provides evidence of potential for DTN to support useful services that support health work in low resource settings as well as disclose the necessary frequency of data delivery for different services. ► Efforts to enhance awareness among stakeholders about how DTN can be used to support health services should be worthwhile.
