Today, we unite with the global movement to raise awareness about the importance of health and well-being for all. This year’s theme, “𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬” emphasizes the importance of providing quality care to women and babies, addressing both immediate and long-term health needs. This focus is critical, as current estimates indicate that nearly 𝟑𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 die annually due to pregnancy or childbirth-related causes, while 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬 die in their first month of life, and around 𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 are stillborn globally (WHO Data).

As part of our efforts to address these global health challenge, Project Aisha is excited to announce the launch of our new Maternal Health Care Dashboard, designed to provide crucial insights that drive data-informed decisions to improve maternal health outcomes across selected facilities in Lagos and Kaduna states. The dashboard showcases key achievements, including the assessment of 71 facilities across 5 Local Government Areas, evaluating the quality of care through input, process, outcome, and user perspectives in delivering quality RMNCAH services.

With real-time data, we’re working to pave the way for safer births and a reduction in maternal deaths, empowering healthcare providers and decision-makers to take informed action where it’s needed most.
