Preggies Care
The problem we are solving is maternal deaths occur during pregnancy and babies death as stillbirths during the last twelve weeks of pregnancy.
Our Solution is the provision on a mobile application where there will be medical personnel and pharmaceutical stores will be linked on the application where the pregnant women can get fast response and avoid physical hospital rush.
Our solution will positively had a impact to reduce the statistics number of women that get pregnant and loss the baby and then also die due to basic pregnancy health care needs they could not afford and also due to large numbers and less available adequate physical hospital location.
It has been estimated that 25 percent of maternal deaths occur during pregnancy, with variability between countries depending on the prevalence of unsafe abortion, violence, and disease in the area.
In a study conducted in six west African countries, a third of all pregnant women experienced illness during pregnancy, of whom three percent required hospitalization. Certain pre-existing conditions become more severe during pregnancy. Malaria, HIV/AIDS, anemia and malnutrition are associated with increased maternal and newborn complications as well as death where the prevalence of these conditions is high.
In sub-Saharan Africa, an estimated 900,000 babies die as stillbirths during the last twelve weeks of pregnancy. It is estimated that babies who die before the onset of labor, or antepartum stillbirths, account for two-thirds of all stillbirths in countries where the mortality rate is greater than 22 per 1,000 births – nearly all African countries
