Our Programs
Improving Maternal and Child Health
Every day, hundreds of African women and young children die from preventable causes. We equip health workers and hospitals with the tools they need to save lives and improve maternal and child health.
We invest in the lives of African women and children
Access to quality newborn and maternal care is very limited across sub-Saharan Africa. African Mission Healthcare is expanding care.
- In Tanzania, we support a model neonatal intensive care unit that treats 250 children for the equivalent cost of treating just one child in the United States.
- In South Sudan, we built a busy maternal-child health clinic with partner In Deed and Truth and reduced maternal mortality in western South Sudan with partner Catholic Medical Mission Board.
- In Sudan, we helped start a training school for midwives.
- In multiple countries, we have used simulation mannequins to build emergency obstetrical skills.
By expanding access to well-trained staff, quality surgical care, and developed healthcare systems, countless lives can be saved.
Ngonzi Nsa (Only Love) Initiative
We are expanding life changing care for mothers and newborns in Uganda. Our flagship maternal-child health program is a thriving network of four hospitals in rural Uganda dedicated to reducing maternal mortality. Through this program, we sponsor C-sections, repair birth injuries, train nurses and OB-GYN residents and upgrade equipment.
