BornFyne: Empowering Rural Cameroon Mothers (Family Planning and Maternal Health)
Bringing Essential Digital Healthcare to Rural Cameroon Women
The Problem That Must Be Solved
➡ The women in the rural areas of Cameroon die in childbirth because they’re unable to receive key healthcare services, resulting in avoidable loss of lives.
➡ The maternal mortality rate to define the magnitude of the problem Cameroon still has high maternal mortality of up to 438 deaths for everyone 100000 live births and most of the deaths occur in rural areas
➡ Access to healthcare is uneven between rural and urban locations. Only 10.6% of rural women utilize modern family planning methods, compared to 20.7% in urban areas.
➡ Poor power in health facilities makes safe delivery difficult and bars people fromusing essential digital health services.
➡ The inaccessibility of adequate medical information bars women from making informed choices about their health. This results in unwanted pregnancies and complications that could otherwise have been avoided.
Our Solution: The BornFyne Digital Health Platform
Key Features
- Mobile Health Access: An offline-capable app, delivering essential family planning education and maternal health support.
- Cultural Integration: Support of various languages and local dialects to help people who may not be able to read
The project facilitates provision of sustainable power solution but not a feature of the application. Limited power at health facility is a challenge for the project to effectively run digital platforms and support maternity delivery
Our Goal
Project Objectives
- Donate 10,000 mobile phones to women in rural areas in order to allow them to access health information at their convenience.
- Install solar power in 50 health centers to provide reliable energy.
- Donate computers to 50 health centers to keep digital health records.
