Our Clinical and Community Engagement Team 

Focus  Compassion Care 

Our clinical and community engagement team works directly with Traditional Birth Attendants to educate them on the reduction of Harmful birth practices and the need for prompt referral for high-risk pregnancies and deliveries. Our experiences in the first clinic informed us of the need to explore the entire maternal health ecosystem to identify and help reduce the risks posed by ongoing harmful practices while establishing interventions with private-sector nurse-led facilities to improve access to safe respectful maternal care.

Our virtual care team is focused on directly working with mothers providing Anticipatory guidance through a continuity of care model from pregnancy through childhood.  We establish birth cohorts of mothers and primary caregivers as they navigate the experiences of delivery, birth, and the newborn period and milestones through infancy and childhood.
