Covid-19 Ministerio de Salud – Argentina’s self assessment app

Innovative response

​The app, developed by the Argentine Ministry of Health, provides a tool for a quick self-assessment of medical symptoms. In the event of symptoms compatible with those of the COVID-19 virus, the user can inform them through the application and receive guidance and / or instructions on where to go in order to receive medical assistance. The app is using geolocation for the identification of health centres closest to the user.

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

This app will help users potentially identify whether or not they have the virus and provide suitable advice based on the feedback from the users.
