We are an international alliance united to end preventable newborn deaths in African hospitals
We work in partnership with governments in Africa to improve hospital-based care for newborns. Our approach combines lifesaving technologies, training for clinicians and biomedical technicians, and analysis of locally-owned data to drive investment and policy change and advance high-quality newborn care.
We partner with governments, hospitals, educational institutions, professional societies, and national non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to catalyze country-led change through:
Innovative Lifesaving Technologies
We test, qualify, and distribute newborn health technologies that are effective, affordable, rugged, and suitable for hospitals in Africa.
Hands-On Education
We strengthen university and on-the-job education for physicians, nurses, biomedical engineers, and technicians to support quality newborn care and device maintenance.
Data-Driven Action
We support hospitals and governments with developing locally-owned data dashboards that turn routine clinical and contextual data into actionable insights for the improved care of the small and sick newborns.
