The overall acceptability and positive perceptions of SMS text messaging reminders suggest that they can be a valuable tool in health care settings, especially when adapted to the local context. We recommend that health care centers in Haiti consider integrating SMS text messaging reminder systems into routine patient management to enhance adherence and optimize care delivery.
