ZMD NIGERIA
Zero Mothers Die Nigeria is supporting an important initiative by the Traffina Foundation, called Save Our Mothers, which is also a Millennia2025 Foundation WeObservatory Selected Project. Save Our Mothers addresses the key challenges to maternal and reproductive health through the deployment of mobile health (mHealth) interventions targeting pregnant women who are victims of dangerous practices. The mHealth initiative sends out weekly bulk SMS with important pregnancy information and information on the dangers of harmful practices in order to save women's lives during childbirth.
This innovative mHealth initiative has supported rural women in Abia state (Omoba and Obichukwu communities), Imo state (Egbu and Amala communities), and FCT Abuja (Pambara and Ushafa communities), and has motivated them to access quality maternal health services both at the health centers and at home through mobile messaging services.
This mobile messaging service delivering maternal, newborn and child health information to pregnant women and new mothers is made available in five Nigerian dialects, thereby localizing the service to the areas of implementation.
