Programme Overview

Improving continuity of care in maternal and child health systems in LMICs.

Through data-driven health system visibility and early intervention support, we partner with global health organizations to identify and reduce critical drop-offs in the RMNCH pathway.

Vulnerabilities in Care Pathways

These structural gaps contribute directly to preventable maternal and neonatal complications, which remain disproportionately concentrated in low-resource settings. When systemic continuity breaks, the narrow window for life-saving intervention closes.

Fragmented Systems

Maternal and child healthcare data is often siloed across different facilities, making it difficult to track patients longitudinally as they move through the health system.

Critical Drop-offs

Significant attrition occurs between antenatal visits, institutional deliveries, and postnatal care, drastically increasing mortality risks for both mother and child.

Lack of Real-time Visibility

Health ministries and NGOs often rely on retrospective data, preventing timely, targeted community outreach when a patient misses a critical care milestone.

Bridging the Visibility Gap

The Global Continuity Programme introduces a proactive framework to trace patient journeys without overburdening frontline health workers. By harmonizing existing data streams, we create a unified view of health system performance.

  • Data-driven continuity tracking: End-to-end monitoring across the entire Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (RMNCH) pathway.
  • Identification of care gaps: Automated surfacing of service interruptions and missed appointments to enable rapid community health worker outreach.
  • Seamless integration: Designed to layer atop and interoperate with existing Ministry of Health tools (e.g., DHIS2) and established NGO health information systems.

Initial Rollout: Kenya

We are initiating regional and district-level pilots, beginning in targeted counties in Kenya, to validate our continuity framework in high-need environments.

Partnership Structure: We align our tracking mechanisms with local clinical workflows in close coordination with regional health directorates and on-the-ground providers.

Validation: The pilot focuses on rigorously measuring improvements in care continuity, service uptake, and the reduction of system-level attrition.

Key Impact Indicators

Our programme evaluates success through standardized, systemic improvements in health outcomes and care adherence.

Antenatal Care (ANC) Completion

Tracking the proportion of pregnant women completing the recommended minimum ANC contacts.

Postnatal Follow-up Adherence

Measuring the reduction in drop-offs between facility discharge and critical early postnatal check-ups.

Service Continuity

Aggregating regional data to define systemic continuity indicators and overall reduction in missed critical appointments.

Secure, Scaleable Technology

The Global Continuity Programme is supported by secure, modular data infrastructure developed by RapidRisk for humanitarian health applications.

While our enterprise tools secure digital architectures, this programme utilizes our data processing and event tracking system to help secure human health pathways. The framework is designed to process high volumes of fragmented longitudinal data, standardizing it securely while adhering to global health data privacy regulations and national data sovereignty requirements.

Global Partnerships

Systemic change requires coalition. We are currently engaging with implementation partners, Ministries of Health, and global health organisations for pilot deployment in Kenya.
