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.
