Summary

In Myanmar's remote villages, thousands of women face childbirth without access to essential healthcare, leading to high maternal and infant mortality rates. MedAcross's mobile clinics bring trained midwives and comprehensive maternity care directly to these underserved communities, providing life-saving prenatal exams, assisted deliveries, and postnatal support to mothers and newborns.

Challenge

Imagine being a mother in a remote village, hours away from the nearest hospital, and facing pregnancy without access to proper medical care. Maternal and infant mortality rates in Myanmar are among the highest in Southeast Asia, particularly in underserved rural regions. Political instability has worsened the situation, making it difficult for families to access basic healthcare services. Women in these regions lack prenatal check-ups, birth assistance increasing the risks of complications.

Solution

MedAcross has been working on the ground to fill this gap by providing free, life-saving maternity services. Our mobile clinics travel to rural villages, bringing midwives and healthcare professionals to the women who need them most. We offer a full range of maternal health services, including: - Prenatal exams to monitor pregnancy health. - Assisted deliveries by trained midwives. - Postnatal care for mothers and newborns. - Education on maternal health and family planning.

Long-Term Impact

Through consistent maternity care in rural Myanmar, this project aims to significantly reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, creating healthier, more resilient communities. By empowering women with access to skilled healthcare, prenatal education, and family planning, we're fostering a future where mothers and newborns thrive, strengthening families and supporting a cycle of improved health outcomes for generations to come.
