Maternal and child care in public health

Our maternal and child care public health framework has achieved tremendous success in improving maternal and child health care outcomes. It leverages technology to:

Collect data at Source

Used by the last mile health workers like Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) and Medical Officers (MOs) to enter data.

Present detailed analysis to care-providers / administrators

Care providers and administrators use data to gain insights, take on the spot decisions and plan interventions.

Achieve better outcomes within a short cycle time

Key influencers to better outcome include:
a. Systematic tracking of high-risk women / children in remote geographies
b. Digital alerts to key medical staff and administrators in case of emergencies
c. Exhaustive coverage of associated social welfare programmes
d. Identification of infrastructure and resource needs
e. Impact of any programme / intervention on the intended outcome
