By collecting and analyzing health data, we can identify the factors contributing to these deaths and create targeted interventions. From tracking antenatal visits to monitoring infant health, data helps healthcare providers offer better care and save lives. The more we understand the problem, the better equipped we are to solve it. #MaternalHealth #ChildMortality #HealthData #PublicHealthImpact

Preventable Diseases: Rural residents are 25% more likely to succumb to preventable diseases due to delayed medical intervention. Our mission is to deliver free medical care to those in need, closing the gap and enhancing health outcomes within rural communities.
