Maternal Health

In Uganda, 1 child in every 16 does not survive to the fifth birthday, and neonatal deaths account for 42% of under-5 deaths

In Iganga and Bugweri districts, UAOWF supports a maternal health program that aims at:

• Mobilizing and encouraging pregnant mother to seek maternal health services including Antenatal and postnatal care, family planning, nutrition, PMTCT, and others.

• Health facility delivery

• Helping pregnant mothers develop a birth preparedness plan including transportation to the nearest health facility for delivery.
