African Mothers Health Initiative
In Malawi, maternal and infant mortality rates are among the highest in the world. AMHI provides home-based nursing care to vulnerable babies and postpartum mothers to save their lives. African Mothers Health Initiative started with the effort to save the life of one baby following his mother’s death. When a woman dies just after childbirth in Malawi, her healthy newborn often follows her in death. Not for a lack of love or care, but simply poverty. This second death is so common that it is expected. AMHI exists to ensure the survival of infants whose mothers die shortly after childbirth, other high-risk infants, and to care for women who experience significant chronic illness following birth. By providing targeted care, our model enables families to ensure that their most vulnerable members thrive.
