Our Impact in National Health Systems
At Jacaranda Health, we are committed to addressing systemic inequities in health care by centering our work within the public health system, and driving measurable and sustained impact on the way care is accessed and delivered for those who need it most.
Reaching Women & Health Providers at Scale
Our programs have engaged over 1 million pregnant women & mothers in Kenya, alongside thousands of frontline nurses across 1,000+ of the country’s busiest public hospitals. Our solutions are designed to be customizable and replicable, allowing us to scale to a critical mass of public hospitals and sustainably improve the quality of maternal and newborn care.
Improving Health Outcomes for mums and babies
More mothers are seeking care at the right time, with increases in prenatal appointments and family planning. 85% of mothers seek care when they are alerted to a danger sign by PROMPTS. 90% of providers now consistently perform key steps during normal and complicated deliveries and we have seen a 20% reduction in postpartum hemorrhage.
Partnering with Governments for Sustainability
At less than a dollar, our digital health program is cost-effective to run, and free for the user. Our government partners cost share 50% our mentorship program. Our approach is also nationally endorsed, with government partners investing $1.1 million to support critical improvements to service delivery.
Our Impact on Mums, Babies, and the Nurses Who Care for Them…
JOSEPHINE MUCORO
PROMPTS USER | BUNGOMA COUNTY
Josephine Mucoro was in the later stages of pregnancy when she came across PROMPTS, Jacaranda’s AI enabled digital health platform. After a few months using the platform, she received a message that would save her life. ‘It warned of pain in the upper abdomen as a danger sign.’ she explains. On feeling this pain, she went directly to hospital, a visit that proved life saving. ‘From Thursday to Saturday my baby was not moving’ she explains. The hospital took action, performing an emergency cesarean section that would save her, and her newborn baby’s life. ‘Because of PROMPTS, I was able to recognize the pain I was feeling was not normal and I sought care at the hospital. I don’t know what might have happened to me and the baby otherwise.’
STEPHEN OPIYO
DELTA USER & NURSE & MIDWIFE | AKALA HEALTH CENTER | SIAYA COUNTY
As a nurse midwife at Akala Health Centre, Stephen Opiyo’s work centers around bringing new life into the world. At the height of COVID-19, he enrolled in DELTA, Jacaranda's virtual learning assistant equipping providers with the needed skills in emergency care to avert life-threatening complications. Stephen is now empowered to help providers in his facility adopt the same knowledge and convert them into practice. ‘I provided the providers in my facility detailed feedback leveraging the aspects I’d been trained on.’ explains Stephen. ‘They took Jacaranda tests around enhancing safety care in obstetrics, and I motivated them to do better.’
CASE STUDIES
Knowledge sharing for better health outcomes…
“When you compare the period before mentorship and after, you’ll find the number of stillbirths has really reduced. We’re really motivated by these results, and have used them to help secure resources from our County Health Management Team. Off the back of this, we’ve launched our own successful mentorship program to support both nurses and doctors across the facilities in our counties.”
