Bringing Kenyan maternal health innovation to North Carolina: Launching a scalable textline platform to help support pregnant and postpartum parents during COVID

By Jacaranda Health
Added: December 31, 2020
LearnPartner Content

Jacaranda Health discusses adaptation of its existing technology infrastructure and experience supporting over 150,000 pregnant and postpartum women in Kenya, to create a helpdesk for North Carolina moms in partnership with local perinatal educators, doulas, and clinicians. COVID Moms Helpline (covidmoms.org) is a free chat line staffed with knowledgeable experts and perinatal educators, available by SMS text or Facebook messenger. Expecting or new parents can text any question about pregnancy or postpartum care and COVID and get a rapid, informed response or referral to local resources.
