Expert Reviews of mobile telecommunications health

A scientific review must meet several criteria for Vodafone to consider it an expert review. It must:

  • Be relevant to mobile telecommunications and health
  • Be undertaken by a panel of experts
  • Be commissioned by a recognised national or international health agency
  • Consider all available peer-reviewed evidence covering the scope of the review.

This table summarises these expert reviews and contains links to the full reports.
