An agreement on launching during 2010 a set of innovative services for public health was signed between Smart Mobile with the number of prefixes 010 and 093 and InSTEED  which is a non-profit organization. Improving the public health is based on Smart Mobile’s wireless network and InSTEDD’s collaboration platform.

InSTEDD’s mission is to harness the power of technology to improve the collaboration for the global health and humanitarian action. The organization was originally funded by leading search engine Google and works internationally, with its largest projects currently in Southeast Asia, a hotbed for disease outbreaks that can spread worldwide.

This is the first time in Cambodia a deployment of this kind has happened and sets a precedent for how local communication providers can partner to bring to scale successful mobile solutions with a social impact and with a view to long-term sustainability. Along with Smart Mobile, InSTEDD looks to bring the best of technology to those who help to make local communities stronger, safer, and healthier.
