Contents:•Brief Introduction•Current Status•Challenges

Introduction

• In June 2010, Project Mwana, implemented by the MoH with support from collaborating partners was launched

• The Specific health objectives were:– (1) Strengthen early infant diagnosis, aiming both to increase

the number of mothers receiving results and to reach mothers in a faster, more efficient manner using the ‘Results160’ SMS application.

– (2) Improve the rate of postnatal follow-up, increasing the number of birth registrations for clinic and community births, while also raising the number of clinic visits for mothers through community-health worker tracing using the ‘RemindMi’ application.
