The Problem

Why Focus on
Maternal, Newborn, and
Child Health?

Why Focus on Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health?

Maternal Mortality Remains High

According to the WHO, an estimated 287,000 of maternal death happened in 2020 globally, and about total of 48,000 cases of maternal death occurred in Central and Southern Asia (WHO, 2023). The Indonesian Ministry of Health reported 4,627 maternal deaths in 2020, and 7,389 maternal deaths in 2021, with 2,982 of those deaths due to COVID-19 infection (Kemenkes, 2021).

Neonatal Mortality Remains High

Neonatal Mortality in the World and Indonesia. According to UNICEF, around 18 babies died in their first months of life among 1000 live births in 2021. Based on the data from the Indonesia Ministry of Health, the neonatal mortality rate was 16.85 deaths per 1000 life births in 2020 (National Survey, 2020)

Critical Need in Child Health & Nutrition

Inadequate Nutrition leading to Stunting problem in Indonesia. Indonesia Nutrition Surveillance System (SSGI) in 2022 estimates that although the numbers have decreased since 2013, the prevalence of stunting remains high. In 2022, it was still 21.6% across 33 provinces of Indonesia, reduced by 2.8% from the previous year. West Java is one of the islands with a high prevalence of stunting, which was 20.2% in 2022.

Our Solution

Telemedicine
Services

We provide a telemedicine device for patient or pregnant women who live in the rural area by connecting residents in rural areas with doctors, and midwives or nurses, both with online communication. Our telemedicine services could improve rural maternal care by allowing pregnant women to see doctor online even if they live in an area where there are no doctors practicing locally.

We provide telemedicine in rural areas in partnership with the local communities and health officials. We collaborated with Jabar Digital Services, Diskominfo Jabar from the provincial government, local health officers, and several community health centers or primary healthcare in rural areas to run health project initiatives called “Telemedicine Village Health Project” in West Java Province, Indonesia which has reached many villages, rural areas, community health centers, and provide many patient consultations to improve health outcome and enhance health equity.
