I’ve now put some functionality to the app. You can now ask for helplines, check for how to prevent the disease and it’s symptoms. It’s quite very basic but it’s a step to something bigger.
I’ve also applied for a twitter developer account so I can integrate it in the app to fetch tweets from the twitter account of the Ministry of Health Uganda since this is where official communication is passed.
