E-Partogram | Saving Lives at Birth. Organization: Jhpiego Corporation Organization Location: Baltimore, MD, USA Jhpiego and its partners (Johns Hopkins University Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design and Laerdal Global Health) propose to rapidly develop and conduct initial field-testing for an “E-Partogram,” an affordable, easy-to-use, handheld electronic decision-making tool for preventing or managing complications during labor.
The E-partogram could positively transform safe childbirth by enabling front-line providers to more rapidly assess and respond to labor complications and receive crucial guidance to save the lives of women and newborns. Vigilant labor monitoring with the partogram (currently paper) has proven to be an inexpensive and pragmatic way to reduce both maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity; it also can promote logical human resource allocation, facilitate clinical supervision and support record-keeping.

Three practical steps to better health for Africans - McKinsey Quarterly - Health Care - Strategy & Analysis. Despite improvements in recent years, the health of the vast majority of sub-Saharan Africans remains in jeopardy. The figures are sobering. One in six children born in the region today will die before age five. African women face more than 100 times the risk of maternal mortality than do women in the developed world. And the average life expectancy in sub-Saharan Africa is a mere 51 years. Sadly, most countries in the region appear unlikely to meet the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals for health, let alone to address significant chronic issues beyond their scope.
The fundamental problem is a pervasive lack of access to primary health care. This need not happen. No access Access to primary care drives health outcomes. This cycle is broken across much of sub-Saharan Africa, however, since access to health care is limited or nonexistent. Encouraged by what we learned, we next looked for novel ideas that might extend these successes.
