A revolution in maternity care in Central Africa with the "Wakobo Ti Kodro" project
We have great news to share with you!
Our new project "Wakobo Ti Kodro"transforms maternal care in the Central African Republic by integrating matrons, traditional birth attendants, into the monitoring of high-risk pregnancies thanks to an innovative mobile app.
Our new project "Wakobo Ti Kodro"transforms maternal care in the Central African Republic by integrating matrons, traditional birth attendants, into the monitoring of high-risk pregnancies thanks to an innovative mobile app.
"Wakobo Ti Kodro" aims to improve maternal and child health in a region where mortality rates are among the highest in the world. Around 48% of births take place at home, underscoring the importance of this project. The app provides visual guides and voice alerts, making information accessible even to people with low literacy.
Matrons have been quick to adopt the technology, strengthening their role in the healthcare system. The app has facilitated their integration into health centers, improving the quality of care and management of at-risk pregnancies.
This initiative is an inspiring example of how an innovative, community-based approach can save lives and strengthen local health systems.
Revolution in maternity care in Guinea: Mobile ultrasound scanners
The revolution in maternity care in Guinea thanks to mobile ultrasound scanners has marked a crucial turning point in access to care for women in Télimélé (a town in the Republic of Guinea). Since August 2023, ALIMA has equipped six health centers with this innovative technology, enabling high-quality ultrasound scans even in the most remote areas where access to specialized care is limited.
This initiative has led to a significant increase in the prenatal consultation rate, from 53% to 68% in just a few months. What's more, the number of births attended by healthcare professionals increased by 10% in one year, ensuring better care for mothers and newborns. In nine months, nearly 1,300 women have benefited from these prenatal follow-ups, reducing the risk of complications and maternal mortality.
The poignant testimonies of women who have benefited from these mobile ultrasounds testify to the tangible impact of this innovation. Mariama, a young mother from Télimélé, testifies: "Thanks to the mobile ultrasound, I was able to monitor my pregnancy closely and give birth to my baby safely."
ALIMA plans to extend this program to other regions of Guinea and other West African countries, with the support of local and international partners.
