Too many newborns are still referred to distant facilities when they could be treated locally, contributing to unnecessary morbidity or mortality. We use the Project ECHO tele-mentoring framework to ensure health workers increase their knowledge and confidence to treat newborns closer to home.

How ECHO equalizes health outcomes?

  • Transparent. We democratize expert medical knowledge to neonatologists and paediatricians practicing in local communities, improving their knowledge, attitude, and practice.

  • Accessible. Our virtual trainings are easy to access and available to everyone in even the most isolated areas.

  • Responsive. We create new programs in response to what clinicians and partners need, providing the most up-to-date specialty care information and technical support.

  • Effective. Clinicians become equipped to deliver specialized care to newborns in their local facilities who they otherwise would have referred out.

  • Supportive. We foster a strong community of healthcare professionals working in low-resource areas.

  • Impactful. Using case-based learning and an “all teach all learn” model, both frontline practitioners and expert mentors are enriched.
