Neftaly Maternal Mortality Reduction Strategies
Protecting Mothers. Saving Lives. Strengthening Communities.
Every pregnancy should end with a healthy mother and child. Yet, maternal mortality remains a serious public health issue—especially in low-resource settings where preventable complications often go unaddressed. At Neftaly, we are committed to reducing maternal deaths through evidence-based, community-centered, and health system–driven solutions that prioritize the safety, dignity, and rights of every mother.
Our Mission
To significantly reduce maternal mortality by ensuring timely, high-quality care before, during, and after childbirth—through strengthened health systems, empowered communities, and skilled healthcare providers.
The Challenge of Maternal Mortality
Globally, hundreds of thousands of women die each year from complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. Most of these deaths are preventable.
Leading Causes Include:
- Severe bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage)
- Hypertensive disorders (e.g., pre-eclampsia, eclampsia)
- Infections (sepsis)
- Unsafe abortion
- Complications during delivery
- Delayed access to skilled care

2. Training and Capacity Building
- Equip healthcare workers with life-saving skills (e.g., Basic and Comprehensive EmONC, AMTSL, newborn resuscitation)
- Implement simulation-based training and continuous professional development

3. Community Engagement and Education
