Overview
Since 2008, Thamini Uhai (formerly World Lung Foundation) supports national efforts to reduce maternal and perinatal mortality by strengthening health services delivery in three regions of Kigoma, Morogoro, and Pwani. Currently, 46 health facilities in Kigoma region, mostly in rural, isolated areas are being supported to provide quality Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC) services. Thamini Uhai is also working to improve women’s access to EmONC services by strengthening referral systems, works to increase demand for good-quality services through multimedia communications campaigns and by partnering with community health workers and is implementing a pilot birth companionship project which aims at improving the experience and outcome of care during delivery in selected facilities in Kigoma region.
