The NeoInnovate Collaborative Consortium
We are a vibrant international coalition of Faculty collaborators, students, and post-graduate trainees with expertise in clinical science, global health, biomedical engineering, computer science, and informatics. Our ambitious vision is of a just and equitable world where preventable maternal, newborn, and child deaths are eliminated.
Mission
Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of vulnerable women, children, families, and communities around the world, through activities which lead, directly and indirectly, to a sustained reduction of maternal and newborn death during pregnancy, delivery, and the first month of postnatal.
What we do
We build, deploy, and evaluate innovative solutions by which to equip, empower, and strengthen health care providers, communities, and health systems. These efforts supply our partners and stakeholders with the knowledge, skills, and tools by which to successfully disseminate, implement, scale-up, and sustain evidence-based, life-saving interventions to improve maternal and newborn outcomes.
