Health Programs in Africa

Limited resources and inadequate infrastructure make access to healthcare services a significant challenge in Africa’s poorest communities. Effective health programs can help improve access and promote better health outcomes in these underserved areas.

Need: 

One of the more common causes of maternal mortality and death in children in sub-Saharan Africa is obstructed labor.  It is due in large part to limited access to health care resources, lack of education, poverty, and remote distance from healthcare facilities.​

Having a baby in Uganda is 21 times more deadly than having a baby in North America.

Solution: 

Microfinancing Partners in Africa’s Safe Woman/Health Program helps mothers thrive via access to pre-natal care, education and microfinancing.  Microfinancing Partners in Africa equips midwives with ultrasounds to identify three high-risk obstetric conditions that would mandate referral to a health facility with an obstetrician and educating the mothers on the importance of delivering at the village health center.​
