The project supports maternal health at Lacor Hospital to address the alarming maternal mortality rate.

With 189 maternal deaths per 100,000 births and limited access to skilled prenatal care, Uganda remains among the 50 countries worldwide with the highest maternal mortality rates. Lacor Hospital, along with its three satellite health centers, provides over 30,000 prenatal visits and assists with more than 9,000 births each year, offering a comprehensive care pathway that includes ultrasounds, vaccinations, medications, nutritional counseling, and delivery assistance, including in emergency situations.

The project helps support 250 comprehensive care pathways for pregnant women, including all exams, medications, and assisted childbirth. Additionally, it contributes to the salaries of a nurse and a midwife, who play a vital role in safely supporting women during one of the most delicate moments of their lives.
