quality of their services has been badly
affected. Therefore, introducing a web-based
system for midwives through a simplified
solution for easy documentation, data
management in online will opportunity to
involve in more field activities. Furthermore,
it is useful in midwives to notify daily tasks,
monitoring and evaluation of the field
activities for themselves. Meantime it leads
to notify to mothers about their clinics,
vaccinations and activities by messages
mothers from eligibility registration to whole
pregnancy, prenatal, childbirth and
postpartum period. By considered rural
families provide this message service to any
mobile phone with Sinhala, Tamil and
English languages without facing difficulty.
Moreover, the facility of storing information
and access system with any devices when
their visits without referring large
documentation make the system more user
friendly. In a subsequent of studies, all the
midwives gave positive comments indicating
that they were happy with the developing
system and that they would like to continue
