Factory workers who do not have smartphones can send questions through SMS to Maya’s doctors and counsellors and receive their answers through SMS, the cost of which will be borne by Maya.
Once launched, factory workers can also make video calls with doctors and counsellors, which will provide a feeling of “assurance and relief” to factory workers who are in constant risk during the Covid-19 crisis. Maya says it can work with factories to provide access for workers without smartphones.
In addition, Maya will provide customised dashboards for the BGMEA and its factories, which will provide real-time data on factory workers, while monthly reports will provide insights and analysis of worker consultations from all platforms.
