It is wholly unacceptable that a mother in Sub-Saharan Africa is over 100 times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth than a woman in Western Europe in an age of digital transformation.
Pregnancy and postpartum healthcare is also impacted by the nine-fold fewer nurses and midwives in Sub-Saharan Africa compared to Europe. Simple MASSAI Application can bridge this gap by enabling health workers to more efficiently track pregnancies, spot danger signs, and ensure that women can access emergency obstetric care if complications occur.
Maternal Survival and Safety institute can play an important role in funding, initiating and evaluating pilot health programs. However, Africa needs more partnerships between governments, international organizations and the private sector to build, scale and sustainably finance digital innovations.
More development investment in reducing maternal mortality rates will generate significant social and economic benefits for sub-Saharan Africa. To do that the first priority should be closing the mobile gender gap and creating digital platforms to create new generations of informed, empowered and healthier African women and children.
