We are an international alliance united to end preventable newborn deaths in African hospitals
We support African governments to implement a package of care that includes affordable technologies, training for clinicians and biomedical technicians and locally-owned data to deliver high quality small and sick newborn care.
Through partnerships with facilities and governments we catalyze country-led change to:
Deliver & Sustain Innovation
We test, qualify, and distribute a package of newborn health technologies for low-resource settings.
Develop an Education Ecosystem
We foster education ecosystems and deliver clinical, and technical training to support newborn care.
Implement Evidence-based Care
We develop data systems to help countries reach newborn survival targets and sustain quality care.
