Every year, 300K mothers die needlessly. Better data means better tracking, accountability, and more lives saved. An important call to immediate action.

@OnTIME_C featured at @GoogleHealth The Check Up event today here in New York. As lead of this Consortium, I am incredibly proud of this partnership with @Google and massively humbled by the impact we are making to transform the lives of #pregnant #women in #Africa #AI #mortality
Accessing emergency obstetric care is a race against time for women worldwide. To address this, Google and @OnTIME_C launched a dashboard offering key insights into access to emergency care facilities.

As announced at The Check Up, this work is now expanding to Ghana, where the dashboard will be used to strengthen initiatives that reduce maternal mortality and empower decision makers both locally and globally. Learn more: goo.gle/4hhmkzN
