improves mother and child care in Africa
Who are we
The Mount Meru Foundation is committed to improving mother and child care in Tanzania. Medical facilities are available in the big cities but not in the countryside in the often remote nature areas.
The Mount Meru Foundation's primary goal is to transfer knowledge and expertise in obstetrics and ultrasound to local doctors and obstetricians.
In addition to training, aids such as an ultrasound device are invaluable. Ultrasound is of great importance in the care of pregnant women. Major problems can be detected early with an echo.
A referral can then be made to a hospital so that delivery can take place at the right time and place.
High mortality
Around 1 in 50 babies die in Tanzania and 1 in 500 mothers die around childbirth.
