Maternal & Newborn Care

Representative illustration — not a real patient or clinical outcome.

Maternal and newborn care spans the antenatal period, labour and delivery, and the postnatal weeks for both mother and baby.

Why it matters

About 260,000 women died in pregnancy or childbirth in 2023, more than 90% of them in low and lower-middle-income countries — sub-Saharan Africa alone accounted for around 70% (WHO, 2025). The access gap mirrors the burden: while roughly 99% of births are attended by a skilled professional in high and upper-middle-income countries, only 73% are in low-income countries (WHO, 2025). Yet most maternal deaths are preventable with timely skilled care, and midwife-led continuity of care is associated with 16% lower newborn loss and 24% lower pre-term birth (WHO, 2025).

InBasket AI keeps the mother–baby story on one continuous record so a small care team can work from a single, trustworthy source of truth — part of expanding access to care for the next billion people.

Designed with reference to recognized global, national, and clinical standards

This care area is designed with reference to a standards ecosystem, including global guidance, national protocols, specialty-society recommendations, interoperability standards, and programme reporting requirements where applicable:

  • WHO partograph (alert and action lines)
  • WHO recommendations on intrapartum care for a positive childbirth experience
  • FIGO and national safe-motherhood / emergency obstetric care guidance where adopted

  • National Ministry of Health standard treatment guidelines, essential medicines lists, and local scope-of-practice rules for the implementation setting
  • HL7 FHIR, ICD-10, LOINC, SNOMED CT, and local terminology/coding standards where adopted
