MATERNAL AND CHILD CARE

Every day 15 women die in Uganda from pregnancy and childbirth-related causes, 94 babies are stillborn and 81 newborn babies die.

This equates to 69,350 deaths each year due to complications during pregnancy, child birth and in the first month. We know that healthy mothers means healthier babies, healthier communities and healthier nations.

At CCE our goal is to promote heath and education in pregnant mothers, newborns and children.

Malaria and Nets

What is a malaria net?

Insecticide‐treated nets (ITNs) are a core intervention for malaria control. A previous version of this Cochrane Review showed they are very effective at reducing malaria‐related death and illness.

How effective are malaria nets?

A net that only costs about $4.00, lasts for 3 to 4 years, and protects on average two people. The statistics are easy to find. For every 600 nets one child doesn’t die and 500 to 1,000 cases of malaria are prevented.
