Time matters. Faster access to care can save 10x more lives. Muso is a global health non-profit that is revolutionizing how quickly Community Health Workers (CHWs) provide access to care for sick children in Mali. In the areas where Muso operates, we’ve seen a 10x difference in child mortality and a 10x increase in patient access to care. As Muso grows, we’re reaching more patients, faster.
To the best of our knowledge, Muso has achieved and maintained the lowest rate of child mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa. We estimate the Muso system will enable Ministries of Health to provide universal health coverage at a cost of $24 per person, well within the range of health spending in Sub-Saharan Africa and significantly lower than the WHO estimate of $60+ per person covered.
The problem: 5,900,000 children died in 2015 before their fifth birthday. 300,000 women did not survive pregnancy or childbirth. 90% of Malian women do not access family planning. 13x higher maternal mortality.
