Maternal & Newborn Health
Register every pregnancy, guide every visit, and follow every birth to a safe outcome.
The Challenge
Mothers and newborns need continuous care, but gaps in follow-up let risks slip through unseen.
Care in low-connectivity areas
Home visits often happen far from any network.
Following complex care protocols
Health workers juggle many steps and danger signs.
Referrals across facilities
Mothers move between homes, clinics, and hospitals.
