Maternal and child health receives less coverage than HIV and malaria, but we do what we can.
The clinic is open to all women in the community regardless of their religious affiliation. We respect their right to information and to make and informed choice. A case study has been published on the CCIH site.
Perhaps the most effective method for preventing vertical transmission from mother to baby (PMTCT) is to ensure that women have access to information to plan the pregnancies. Reproductive health is a key service we offer. Once the woman is pregnant, our ante-natal and PMTCT counsellign services are available. Jackie's story was captured by UNITAID on MassiveGood's website. Thanks to Great Lakes Film covering our Essential Maternal Care

At Hope Clinic Lukuli we want to mobilise as many pregnant women from the community to have an ANC check-up and access PMTCT for HIV. They can deliver with their solo midwife, but we can support them if they prefer. By ANC check ups we can help small, first time or young mothers and those with suspected twins to plan a hospital delivery. If they do choose us, our equipment and caring staff can safeguard mother and baby.
