OUR MISSION
EFFORTS BEARING FRUIT
A concerted effort of the midwives and stakeholders has contributed to the achievement of the following key health indicators between 2008/9 and 2014, according Kenya Demographic Health Surveys (KDHS, 2014):
• Total fertility rate per woman decreased from 4.6 – 3.9
• Antenatal care uptake increased from 88% – 96% • Skilled birth attendance increased from 44% – 62% • Post natal care uptake increased from 42-51% • Family Planning uptake increased from 46-58% • Exclusive Breast Feeding increased from 32-61%. Children 20-23 months still breast feeding at 51% • Infant mortality rate decreased from 52/1000 live births to 39/1000 live births • Child mortality rate decreased from 31/1000 live births to 14/1000 live births
OUR FIGHT IS HUGE, IT’S A FIGHT FOR LIFE…
Major gains have been made; however, we still have complications at birth and maternal mortality during or upon baby delivery.
Babies die as newborn, out of 1,000 live births
Children die before their 5th birthday
Children dying before attaining the age of 5 years are an important area of attention in family care. Majority die within the first 24 hours and one week of life.
WE MUST WIN THIS FIGHT. YOU TOO CAN HELP.
