About us
Who we are
The Maternal Health Initiative is an evidence-based non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of women and children, with a particular focus on care received during the postpartum period. At present, MHI has launched initial pilot programming in the Northern Region, in collaboration with two local partner organisations and the Regional Health Directorate of the Ghana Health Service.
Our core programming provides healthcare workers with refresher training on contraceptive provision and client-centred counselling. These training sessions teach providers an evidence-based approach to counselling women on family planning in the postpartum period using a set of tools designed by MHI through an extensive research and consultation process.
