TANNA's Maternal Health Support Program represents a comprehensive approach to improving birth outcomes and reducing maternal mortality in the Mloganzila community. Through dedicated prenatal care, skilled birth attendance, and postpartum support, our team has successfully supported over 250 mothers, achieving a 95% safe delivery rate.
This life-saving initiative emerged from alarming maternal mortality rates in our region and the urgent need for specialized maternal care. Through evidence-based practices, skilled nursing interventions, and comprehensive family support systems, we have created a model of maternal healthcare that prioritizes both mother and child safety throughout the entire pregnancy journey.
