Summary
Maya women in Guatemala are 10 times more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth than women in the US, in part because of the barriers and discrimination they face in the public health system. Our Mobile Health Program provides trusted midwives with training and smartphone technology, along with 24/7 access to medical staff, so they can detect problems early and get mothers more advanced care when necessary, saving mothers' and babies' lives.
