The availability of skilled professionals is key to maternal and neonatal health. At Maternova, we are interested in mapping the current locations of skilled birth attendants--but just as interested in highlighting the precise areas where access is most inadequate. A new study documents health workers shortages country by country in Africa and I briefly cover it here.

Maternova as an entity is evolving and solidifying. Our objective: to become a ‘go-to’ platform connecting those who work and innovate for maternal and neonatal health. We see ourselves as a creative web-based platform focused on efficiency. Maternova is a nimble, innovative entity creating value by connecting clinicians and innovators in real-time. We will take a highly fragmented market of 30mm nurses and midwives and consolidate information flows to improve efficiency and save lives.
