Natal Cares addresses high maternal and child mortality in Nigeria by providing accessible healthcare information, promoting safe childbirth practices, and supporting childhood vaccinations.
At Natal Cares, we have developed a holistic innovative solution that work across the entire care continuum (including education, prevention, detection, treatment, management, follow-up) to solve the three root causes that have been identified and help improve maternal and child health and reduce the risk of maternal deaths and other adverse perinatal outcomes.
First, we bridge the healthcare information gap in underserved communities through the innovative use of mobile technology. Medically certified healthcare information is delivered to pregnant and nursing mothers via SMS and VOICE NOTES in their preferred local languages accessible on both feature phones and smartphones empowering them to make informed healthcare decisions for themselves and their babies. Through this service, we ensure that no mother, no matter how disadvantaged, is ever truly abandoned by healthcare professionals.
Secondly, in-order to curb the unhealthy child delivery practices, we have developed Comprehensive DELIVERY KITS containing Sixteen W.H.O recommended critical supplies pregnant women require at childbirth to ensure a safe and hygienic delivery. Also through Onsite and our E-Training Platform, we train and educate frontline health workers and Traditional birth Attendants on latest delivery practices to increase their skillset, knowledge of best practices and build their capacity.
To combat the devastating consequences of preventable childhood diseases due to insufficient vaccination, we provide adequate Vaccinations for Infants and children also our Mobile Application includes an IMMUNIZATION REMINDER feature through which we meticulously track and ensure that mothers bring their babies for immunization. The App also serves as a comprehensive resource, offering information on nutrition, supplements, and healthy eating habits for pregnant women and nursing mothers. Additionally, it boasts innovative and user-friendly features such as CONNECT-TO-DOCTOR, Natal Cares HELPLINE, DELIVERY KITS ONLINE, and a BLOOD BANK Connect.
