My first labnote

Dear Science backers,

Thank you so much for your generous contribution! With your help the project is about to start! One researcher (Aba) just arrived in Uganda, securing the necessary permits and contacts. Emeka (main field coordinator) will arrive in a week.

This is not an easy project to carry out. The regions we plan on sampling are remote and not well connected, that's why it is so hard for residents to reach health facilities.

We will keep you posted on the good and the bad (hopefully not too much) of doing field work.

Best and thank you again,

Alessandra Cassar & Team

About This Project

In Uganda 1 in 44 mothers dies from pregnancy-related causes (State of the World’s Mothers’ Index 2015), mainly because of complications during gestation. This project intends to study how support networks and access to quality health care affect maternal and children outcomes in Uganda. With the cooperation of Saving Mothers Giving Life, we are going to measure the outcomes on mothers and children of two factors: having access to quality health care and having a rich support network.
