#Mrejesho, which simply means ‘feedback’ was the name assigned to WhatsappBot with features that allow seamless feedback and generates data with a visual dashboard to SRHR for Youth in Zanzibar 15 track trends on the bot. It allows youth to access correct information about SRH education and provide feedback on the SRH quality of services provided to youth through youth friendly health service centres in Zanzibar.
