How we work with each mother

When a pregnant woman enrols, a MIHEI coordinator stays in touch through birth and postpartum. This follow-up has already caught a serious delivery complication, and MIHEI supported the family through the unexpected costs.

How we measure progress

We track each enrolled mother's experience and outcomes: whether she can use her coverage, how supported she feels, and her health and her baby's health after birth. We use what we learn to improve our programmes.

Stories

Voices of Our Mothers & Families

MIHEI gave my wife and I peace of mind. We were worried and confused before, but their support, patience, and clear guidance changed everything. Today my wife is fully registered for antenatal care, and we finally feel safe and supported. Thank you, MIHEI.

Before enrolling, I was worried about how I would afford antenatal care and delivery. Having health insurance gave me peace of mind and helped me plan to deliver in a facility.

Joining the MIHEI HMO gave me peace of mind during my pregnancy. I was worried about antenatal care, but MIHEI guided me with patience, kindness, and clear support. Today, I'm fully registered and confident. Thank you, MIHEI.
