QUALITY ASSURANCE COORDINATOR

About Jacaranda Health

Jacaranda Health is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve maternal and newborn health outcomes in the public health system. We work together with governments and Ministries of Health to deploy affordable and scalable solutions through public hospitals, where the majority of underserved mothers and babies receive care. One such solution is PROMPTS (Promoting Mothers in Pregnancy and Postpartum Through SMS), an AI-enabled text messaging service that empowers mothers with information to improve health-seeking behaviour and connects mothers with lifesaving services through referrals for additional care.

About PROMPTS Ghana

Building on the success of PROMPTS in Kenya, Jacaranda Health has adapted the PROMPTS model for deployment in Ghana through a pilot study. Our focus will be on enrolling mothers in the antenatal period through postpartum. This will ensure that the Ministry of Health in Ghana and its agencies, through the Ghana Health Service, can support mothers with essential information, triage clients who need urgent support, and ultimately, cost-effectively reduce maternal and neonatal mortality.
