With its’five-year, $48.5 million grant from the US Agency for International Development, a consortium led by IntraHealth International is collaborating with the Rwanda Ministry of Health to reduce preventable infant and maternal deaths, reduce the incidence of malaria, and bring high-quality, integrated health services to more Rwandan mothers, children, and adolescents.
The activity—called Ingobyi, a Kinyarwanda word for a cushion that is used to carry a baby, new bride, or king—works in 20 districts to:
- Increase equitable access to reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health and malaria services in targeted districts
- Improve the quality of reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health and malaria services along the continuum of care in targeted districts
- Strengthen the performance of the health system at both central and decentralized levels
It is in this perspective that Intrahealth in collaboration with ProgressMIH joined their forces to build a system that will help adolescent girls as well as adult women to manage well their reproductive health well and efficiently.
A web application and mobile applications were designed and implemented for that reason.
The Pregnancy wheel is designed in two overlapping discs:
- The Inner disc (Rotating) is the GA and EDD calculator.
- The Outer (stationary) disc is the calendar wheel.
