We’ve created a patient communication, education, and tracking system with a low entry barrier for expectant/pregnant moms in Somalia’s poor villages who don’t or have poor access access to essential types of maternal healthcare. Somalia has 5th highest
maternal mortality rate in the world and one of every 12 women in Somalia dues to pregnancy-related causes. By providing an opportunity to access simple routine checks we can reduce deaths caused by easily avoidable pregnancy illnesses by partnering with local midwives and clinics, providing them with tools to track and educate moms, and boosting awareness and access to healthcare.
Our ultimate vision is to enhance healthcare access in underserved and disadvantaged populations by lowering the obstacles to admission into healthcare. We want to get as near as feasible to achieving zero maternal mortality.
