The Ministry of Health has made a significant stride to improve maternal healthcare with the launch of the Pregnancy Registration and Service Tracking Application (PReSTack). This innovative application aims to reduce the maternal mortality rate in the country by effectively monitoring and tracking pregnant women.
PReSTack is designed to keep a record of every significant maternal event in the country, from the moment a woman becomes pregnant until the delivery of her child. This comprehensive data collection will enable healthcare professionals to identify high-risk pregnancies and provide timely interventions to prevent complications.
One of the key features of PReSTack is its early warning system. The application uses advanced algorithms to analyze maternal health data and identify potential risks factors. This allows healthcare providers to reach out to pregnant women who may need additional support and care.
The application also includes a mobile component that allows pregnant women to access information about their pregnancy, track their progress, and receive personalized health advice. This empowers women to take an active role in their own healthcare and make informed decisions about their pregnancy.
The launch of PReSTack is a testament to the Ministry of Health’s commitment to reducing maternal mortality and improving the well-being of women in the country. With this application, the Ministry aims to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets of reducing maternal mortality to less than 300 per 100,000 live births by 2025 and further decreasing it to less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030.
The Chief Minister, Dr. David Moinina Sengeh, emphasized the importance of PReSTack in minimizing delays and facilitating prompt responses in maternal healthcare. He assured that the application will be accessible to all pregnant women in the country, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status.
PReSTack represents a major step forward in the fight against maternal mortality. By leveraging technology, the ministry said it will empower healthcare professionals and pregnant women to work together to ensure safe pregnancies and healthy deliveries.
