Lastly, the study revealed the benefit of mothers in using ICT on maternal and child health information is that It helps to promote, protect and maintain the health of the mother during pregnancy, helps to reduce maternal and infant mortality rate, helps to teach mother regarding the child care and personal hygiene and environmental sanitation.
