Time matters.
Faster access to care can save 10x more lives. Muso is a global health non-profit that is revolutionizing how quickly Community Health Workers (CHWs) provide access to care for sick children in Mali. In the areas where Muso operates, we’ve seen a 10x difference in child mortality and a 10x increase in patient access to care. As Muso grows, we’re reaching more patients, faster.
To the best of our knowledge, Muso has achieved and maintained the lowest rate of child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We estimate the Muso system will enable Ministries of Health to provide universal health coverage at a cost of $24 per person, well within the range of health spending in sub-Saharan Africa and significantly lower than the WHO estimate of $60+ per person covered [1].
The Problem [2]
5,900,000 children died in 2015 before their fifth birthday
300,000 women did not survive pregnancy or childbirth
90% of Malian women do not access family planning
13x higher maternal mortality rate in Mali than in the US
59% of Malian women do not access basic prenatal care during pregnancy
Muso Model
A reactive model is not enough and early access to care is crucial to survival. The Muso Model is a community-led health system that includes three critical steps in reaching and treating patients faster, within hours of symptom onset:
1. Proactive Search:
CHWs search for patients through door-to-door home visits to connect them with care early.
2. Doorstep Care:
CHWs provide a package of life-saving health care services in the home.
3. Rapid Access Clinics:
Muso removes point-of-care fees, builds infrastructure, and trains staff, so that government clinics can provide universal, early access to care.
