M-Mama Program: Emergency Transport for Pregnant and Post-Natal Women in the Shinyanga Region of Tanzania

The M-Mama program in the Lake Zone of Tanzania saves lives of pregnant women, as well as their newborns, by reducing delays in reaching and receiving care during an emergency. At its core, M-Mama is a technology-driven emergency transport and referral system. The 24/7 dispatch centers at health facilities provide remote triaging, and arrange transportation for patients to health facility via a community driver with a 4-wheel vehicle or ambulance.
