When a skilled attendant is present at delivery, fewer mothers die. Fewer babies die.
Building that reality means fixing cost, distance, trust, and dignity in our health systems.
Who catches the baby matters. Every time.

Had a good conversation with
Devcoms UAS fusing lead engineer, he also expressed the same concerns.
Lots of "esad"s that are fielded are not even potted or at the last conformal coated. Some of the soilders we worked with told me they got it to trigger with humidity or static. It's bad ☠️

I learned none of the Devcoms have received any funding because the budget did not capture them for this year. But others are doing their roadmaps and development blueprints across their regions, signing MOUs so that when funding comes, they will start work immediately.
