Preventing maternal deaths from postpartum hemorrhage through door-to-door care in Eastern Nepal
MomsFirst is committed to measurable impact in maternal health across Nepal
Understanding the maternal health crisis in Eastern Nepal
MomsFirst bridges this gap by reaching directly into homes, ensuring even the most marginalized women have access to life-saving misoprostol and antenatal support—no clinic visit required.
At MomsFirst, we are a team of doctors with first-hand experience in Nepal's rural areas, where maternal deaths from preventable causes like postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) are heartbreakingly common.
We are committed to developing scalable, community-centered solutions that deliver life-saving care, resources, and education to the last mile.
Through our work, we strive to not only prevent maternal deaths, but also build stronger, healthier futures for generations to come.
MomsFirst is launching a door-to-door maternal health initiative in Eastern Nepal, focused on preventing PPH using misoprostol.
Train Female Community Health Volunteers to identify PPH, administer misoprostol safely, and recognize complications early.
Maintain a reliable supply chain through local distribution points with regular tracking, both digital and paper-based.
Deliver misoprostol directly to pregnant women in their third trimester through door-to-door visits.
Promote awareness through community education and engagement campaigns on safe motherhood and PPH prevention.
Follow up with families through phone calls or messages to ensure proper use and monitor for any issues.
Conduct impact research, collecting data to monitor effectiveness and improve intervention strategies.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to D-Prize Foundation for believing in our mission and providing crucial funding for our initial three-month pilot project. Their support has enabled us to begin our life-saving work in Eastern Nepal.
