A community support system for safer pregnancy
The Sister to Sister Maternal Support Network is MHRI’s flagship grassroots implementation model. Female community volunteers identify pregnant women, provide trusted health information, support ANC attendance and use KoboToolbox forms to record visits and flag concerns.
What Sisters do
- Identify and register pregnant women.
- Encourage early and regular antenatal care.
- Share approved maternal health education.
- Track appointments and follow up missed visits.
- Refer urgent concerns to participating facilities.
- Submit field data for monitoring.
Important: Sister Volunteers do not replace trained health professionals.
