Mobile Clinic Update: 12% towards our goal!
In Haiti, a woman's lifetime risk of dying from pregnancy-related causes is 1 in 83. In the U.S., it's about 1 in 4,000. (UNICEF) Poor, rural women in developing countries are the most vulnerable to dying from entirely preventable causes. Our Mobile Prenatal Clinic closes a critical gap in care and prevents deaths. Up to 800 rural mothers each month depend on the Mobile Prenatal Clinic and we can ONLY deliver it to them with YOUR help. (Photo: Summer Aronson)

The Mobile Clinic fills a critical gap in care for rural women. At only $10 per visit, how many mothers and babies can you provide life-saving healthcare?

"Yesterday, the mobile clinic was in Savane Halein. I met a woman there who had already delivered her baby and now brought the baby back to the clinic for care. The baby was 6 weeks old. I checked the mother's blood pressure and it was very high, 170/112. When I asked her how she felt she said she had headaches and blurred vision. We told her to take a rest. We waited and checked her blood pressure again and it was the same. We gave her medicine and then let her rest during the clinic. We checked later and her blood pressure was down to 130/80. We talked to her and told her that eclampsia (seizures) can happen even after delivery and we provided education about when to go the hospital. We told her to rest more, to try to find more peace. We also gave her iron and vitamins. By the time she went home, she was doing much better." - Lociane Jean, Mobile Clinic

A postpartum mother with symptoms of preeclampsia rests with her baby during a mobile clinic in Savane Halein. The mother of the other sleeping infant is speaking with the skilled birth attendants about her own needs and is taking a short respite from holding her newborn. The Mobile Prenatal Clinic is always grateful when mothers bring their newborns back to the clinic, as many mothers must walk several hours to reach these clinics and carrying their child is often difficult.
