TITLE OF ONGOING PROJECT: Maternal Health Empowerment in Matoh District, Cameroon

SECTOR: HEALTH

FUNDING STAGE: PROOF OF CONCEPT

THE CHALLENGE

In Matoh District, Cameroon, there are high maternal mortality rates due to limited access to quality healthcare, skilled birth attendants, and antenatal care. This situation is worsened by inadequate resources and a lack of awareness about maternal health.

THE SOLUTION

The Berine and Bokwe Foundation’s Maternal Health Mobile Hub addresses these challenges through a mobile health clinic that provides affordable misoprostol for postpartum hemorrhage and clean birthing kits for safe deliveries. The program also offers community-based antenatal care, regular check-ups, and resources for pregnant women. Additionally, it includes capacity building for traditional birth attendants and awareness campaigns on maternal health. This initiative enhances access to quality maternal care, reduces preventable deaths, and empowers women to make informed health decisions during pregnancy and childbirth.
