Description

Ingress Health Partners is addressing the challenge of high maternal and newborn deaths in mixed health systems in Nigeria by increasing the market share of safe skilled birthing options by (1) Increasing the visibility and attractiveness of the female competent qualified Private Practice Nurse Midwife (PNM) through community mobilization and media promotion and (2) Minimizing the risks posed by unskilled providers in communities, training them to recognize red flags, refer promptly and eliminate dangerous practices

To increase the access of mothers and women of reproductive age to reliable healthcare information, we have introduced a subscription based virtual anticipatory guidance service for newborns (and their mothers). We expect this platform will scale significantly based on consistently strong feedback from mothers.
