Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effectiveness of SMS reminders in improving adherence to rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) among bite patients in rural eastern Kenya.
- A comparison was made between two groups: one that received SMS reminders and another that did not, finding that those with reminders were three times more likely to complete their PEP doses.
- Key barriers to compliance included financial constraints and forgetfulness, highlighting that SMS reminders could enhance healthcare delivery and aid in rabies elimination efforts.
