Planned interventions: - Upgrading of 20 peripheral health centers - Training of 500 health workers - Supply of essential medical equipment - Vaccination and nutrition programs - Obstetric emergency system

The Solution
Multi-level approach combining upgrading of existing facilities, widespread training of health personnel, creation of a referral network for obstetric emergencies and community-based preventive programs.
The Results
40% reduction in maternal mortality and 35% in infant mortality in intervention areas, increase in assisted births from 45% to 85% and creation of a replicable model for other urban areas of the DRC.
