Our Approach

Connecting Women. Strengthening Systems. Saving Lives.

At MIHEI, we believe that equitable maternal and infant health begins with access — to information, to care, and to the right resources at the right time.


Our approach integrates technology, community partnerships, and data-driven insights to build a coordinated ecosystem that empowers women and strengthens perinatal care systems.

SDG alignment: SDG 3 (Health), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 9 (Innovation & Infrastructure), SDG 17 (Partnerships).

1) A Woman-Centered Model

Through digital and community platforms, MIHEI connects women to verified, compassionate, and affordable care—wherever they live.

We connect women to:

  • Hospitals & Accredited Facilities (antenatal, delivery, postnatal)

  • Emergency Medical Services (timely transport during complications)

  • Health Insurance Providers (HMOs) (affordable maternal & newborn coverage)

  • Primary Health Centers & Community Clinics (preventive & routine care)

  • Mental Health & Psychosocial Support

  • Nutrition & Family Planning Services

  • Education & Peer Networks

2) Addressing the Delays That Cost Lives

  • Delay 1: Deciding to seek care → Digital education & peer support for early recognition and action.

  • Delay 2: Reaching care → Referral coordination and emergency linkage to reduce transport barriers.

  • Delay 3: Receiving adequate care → Connection to equipped, accredited facilities plus insurance to improve affordability and quality.

3) Pathways for Collaboration and Partnership

MIHEI is policy-aligned and designed to complement—not duplicate—public systems. We welcome collaboration with federal and state stakeholders to scale what works.

Our partnership posture:

  • Policy & Strategy Alignment: Solutions designed to fit within national and state maternal/newborn health priorities and referral protocols.

  • Co-Design & Localization: Pilots co-created with state and local teams (including priority LGAs) to reflect local realities and languages.

  • Interoperability & Standards: Tech built to integrate with approved platforms and data standards; avoids parallel systems.

  • Ethical Data & Governance: Clear data-sharing agreements, privacy safeguards, and transparent reporting.

  • Capacity & Continuity: Community engagement, health literacy, and navigation support that strengthen existing frontline efforts.

  • Monitoring, Learning & Scale: Joint indicators, dashboards, and learning loops to inform policy and scale decisions.

4) Collaborative Health System & Private Partnerships

We unite hospitals, insurers, emergency responders, community organizations, and innovators to create sustainable, locally owned solutions.

5) Data for Equity and Impact

Real-world insights guide our design, track outcomes, reveal gaps, and inform decisions that save lives.

6) Empowering Through Education and Community

Peer networks and maternal education build knowledge, confidence, and trust—so women can navigate pregnancy and early motherhood safely.

By connecting care, coverage, community—and public systems, MIHEI is breaking the cycle of delays and advancing sustainable progress toward health equity for every woman and child.
