Saúde reprodutiva e materna

Here is a story about one member of the Changemakers community who had a brilliant idea for expanding access to maternal health care.

Picture a Healthy Pregnancy

Ensuring that women know about their rights to maternal health services is a challenge if the women are unable to read. One organization in India found a way.

The answer was a picture book outlining the available public health entitlements for pregnant women. The visually attractive and simple to understand book serves as an antidote to the government-issued information that is aimed at literates. It was the brainchild of Indu Capoor of CHETNA (The Centre for Health Education, Training and Nutrition Awareness) in Ahmedabad.

To encourage regular and consistent maternal health care, the picture book also comes with a wall calendar that helps the expectant mother prepare for a healthy pregnancy and birth.

The calendar was designed to capitalize on the cultural practice of hanging calendars at home and is designed be posted in a prominent place in the house of the pregnant woman so that the plan is visible to the woman and her family for easy and timely access of important information.

CHETNA was an entrant in the Designing for Better Health competition and is just one of the many great ideas for improved maternal health you will find on Changemakers.

1 Million Plan: Spirulina to Step Out 1 Million Children Out of Malnutrition

Elevator Pitch

Spirulina is an affordable, wonder nutrient-rich micro-algae with proven efficacy against malnutrition. This project aims at saving 1 Mio Indian children and 400’0 lactating mothers by combining a Spirulina enriched diet with a behaviour change strategy and BOP marketing for sustainable impact.

Problema

In India up to 42% of children under 5 are underweight and up to 59% are stunted (Hungama study 2011). The impact is huge: malnourished mothers will give birth to children with retarded growth rates and lifelong health, physical and cognitive development issues. Local diet lacks in essential nutrients such as Vitamin A, iron and protein and getting the right and sufficient nutrients within a rural community is extremely difficult.

Solução

Partnering with Ambuja Cement Foundation and Child Fund India, the plan is to locally produce and distribute large scale Spirulina and Spirulina-enriched foods (candies, cereal snacks, baby-food) to reach 1 Mio children and 400’000 pregnant/lactating mothers using the “Anganwadis” network (local government childcare centers). Each child/mother will receive a daily portion of Spirulina-enriched foods over 6-month (1g Spirulina/day corrects micronutrient deficiency of a small child) together with a personal growth chart measuring progress. Mothers will be empowered through nutrition and cooking best practice sharing "PD Hearth" sessions promoting “kitchen garden” and Spirulina as a sustainable solution to combat micro-nutrient deficiencies.

Exemplo

Asha is a 3-year old malnourished girl. Every month she visits the Anganwadi in her village with her mother where she is weighed and receives her spirulina candies. She loves their taste! Her mother attended the PD hearth session, and learned many hygiene tips (e.g. washing her hands before cooking) and how / what to cook using local vegetables, that she is now planting in her kitchen garden. Asha’s mother is very happy: she grows her own vegetables, made great contacts in the community, but most importantly she sees how her daughter improved her growth path in the last 2 months, moving from being severely malnourished into the moderate category. For sure she will continue applying these learnings and buying Spirulina foods!

Impacto

Antenna Technologies has been active in the research and diffusion of Spirulina for the last 20 years and through its various ongoing field programs in India and Africa has saved thousands of children from malnutrition to date. Based on its success, this project aims at taking Spirulina to the next level to increase its impact. The first target will be India with the 1 Million plan. This pilot will be used to test a large-scale model, gather data on Spirulina efficiency and establish an efficient last mile distribution system for Spirulina products to facilitate their availability in rural areas as a sustainable and viable solution to fight malnutrition. It will then help rally other organizations and allow the deployment of similar programs in other parts of the world. Our dream is to save 10 millions children by 2016 and significantly increase awareness on Spirulina!

Mercado

In India, the Anganwadis governmental network provides daily meals to children but depends on external help. Other initiatives by private or non-governmental institutions focus on the provision of micro- and macronutrients – but they are costly, synthetic, imported and only cover partially the solution. Our solution is 100% natural, locally available, low cost and provides all the essential micro-and macronutrients and promotes education and behavior change. Furthermore, it is embedded and replicable by the community itself while reinforcing the existing Anganwadi network.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

Our partners will provide large scale production of Spirulina and support the roll out of the program. But we need financial support for product development and social marketing campaign to create the market for Spirulina at the BOP, a sustainable value chain and last mile distribution strategy. By reaching 1 Mio children, Spirulina will be well known, accepted and bought on a daily basis thus creating a sustainable model to combat malnutrition.

Histório de Fundação

Denis Von der Weid has always been engaged in the fight against extreme poverty and especially hunger. 20 years ago, he came across the fascinating story of Spirulina, a micro-algae harvested and consumed by the the Kanembou tribe in Chad that demonstrated incredible health status despite extreme conditions, correlated to their Spirulina intake. Indeed Spirulina has impressive nutritional properties – with its extremely high content of bio available proteins, rare essential lipids, and numerous minerals and vitamins, it represents a real solution in the fight against malnutrition. From there on, he decided to invest heavily in R&D and developed a sustainable local cultivation method that he then successfully diffused in Africa and India.

Elevator Pitch

Food for mothers is a recomposed traditional nutritional foods/ food product mix that has been targeted towards the better health of undernourished mothers. These foods have been thoughtfully recomposed to use selective nutrition to counter the problem of malnutrition & other nutrient deficiencies.

Problema

In India, for about 27 M children born each year, about 3.5 M die by the time they are 5 years. WHO and UNICEF estimate that 1.5 M infant lives could be saved each year through increased breastfeeding but that could happen only if the pregnant women are healthier. Approx. 27.5 million adolescent girls are undernourished in India (from Campaign against Malnutrition, Govt. of India.) and may deliver weak and undernourished babies in the future.

Solução

MKN has recomposed a traditional food mix that provides pregnant women with almost all nutrients required by their body at the time of delivery and helps them to recover fast. It helps pregnant women to regain their strength back, increase their immunity and enable them to get back to their regular chores healthier eventually helping women to breastfeed their newbies regularly. This food is a perfect blend of all natural food products that have been administered to pregnant women from ages in our community that includes edible gums, dried ginger, betel nut powder and others. The best advantage of such mix is that that it has an extended shelf life and does not have any chemical supplement/ nutrient added.

Exemplo

Our team has observed many pregnant women over last 2 years and have found that many become really weak after the delivery. On close observation we found that women administered with this all natural food mix showed a gradual weight decrease but never reported getting weaker.
Initially we ensured that every pregnant women in our family or friend circle consumes this natural food mix at the time of delivery and post delivery period. It was found that women reported getting back to their strength faster than their previous delivery when they did not consume this mix. Women also admitted a swift increase in their physical strength that eventually helped them to support breastfeeding to their babies for a longer period of days.

Impacto

Quantitative Impact:
• In a span of 2 years over 5 women have been administered with this traditional food mix while many have been observed taking the similar mix made by themselves at their home.
• Over 100 women were taught about the importance and impact of sole breastfeeding for initial 6 months of childbirth.
• Final composition of the mix has been produced after testing 3 different compositions.

Qualitative Impact:
• Every mother impacted directly impacts the health of her child.
• All women reported gradual weight loss to normal with no reduction in energy levels.
• Women reported better health and physical fitness to support breastfeeding for longer period of days.

We intend to run a pilot with approx. 250 pregnant women (economically deprived) in coming 6 months by providing them this food mix through the help of network of city gynecologists and maternity centers.

Mercado

There are products like Baby and Me nutritional supplement from Nestle, Mother's Horlicks from GSK etc. in the market that are targeted at the similar customers. MKN's food mix differs from others in the sense that our product is all natural with no addition of chemical premixes. The constituents of our mix are something that people have used in their kitchens but in different compositions for different purposes. As our target market comprises of low earning people where current products in market fail to reach, our list of constituents gives them a feel of indigenous food and a sense of trust

Plano de Sustentabilidade

We have been operating at a very small level with kind funding from family and friends. We are reaching out for philanthropic donations for our pilot to help us test our product with a larger chunk of users and validate the results before reaching out to securing investments for scaling up of the project.
We have also started recomposing and reviving other traditional foods to target different health issues to create a line of natural products.

Histório de Fundação

Our founder Nikhil had been working on nutraceuticals, Spirulina, Probiotics etc. during his under graduation and always felt that there is so much to offer for human health through traditional foods which has failed to reach out to majority of people. He observed her grand-mom making a special kind of food mix for every to-be mom in his relatives but while working with rural communities, he found that most of the moms there are devoid of any such nutrition and many are effected by malnutrition. So he decided to take these household compositions to a higher level; recompose it and make it available in packaged forms to a larger customer base who are devoid of any such knowledge and benefits.

Elevator Pitch

Vitamin Angels helps at-risk populations in need—specifically children under 5, new mothers and pregnant women—gain access to lifesaving and life changing micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). In 2013, Vitamin Angels is working to reach 30 million children in nearly 50 countries, including the US.

Problema

For myriad reasons, millions of children worldwide do not have access to proper nutrition or regular health services. As a result, children are suffering from hidden hunger, a lack of micronutrients that can lead to disease and even death. One third of all childhood deaths are attributable to undernutrition. An estimated 190 million children under five suffer from vitamin A deficiency (VAD), a major underlying cause of child mortality.

Solução

Although there are many viable alternatives to alleviate micronutrient deficiency, we promote the use of supplementation of i) vitamin A to save lives and reduce illness for children under age five, and ii) multivitamins to promote physical and cognitive development for children under 5, extending to pre/postnatal vitamins for pregnant/breastfeeding mothers. In 2013, we are targeting 30 million children in nearly 50 countries. Vitamin A supplementation has been proven to reduce child mortality from all causes by 24% in at-risk populations. Multivitamins provide the foundation for good health beginning at conception and carrying through the child’s key developmental years.

Exemplo

The story of Exerline, an 18-months-old Haitian girl, highlights the impact of our solution. When she arrived at a clinic run by our field partners, she was severely underweight and malnourished.. Deficient in many vitamins, she suffered from dry eyes and could barely open them because of the pain. She was immediately started on vitamin A, other vitamins, and a balanced diet. Her eyes soon became clearer and she developed a healthy weight. The vitamin A helped restore her vision and her immune system. The greater impact will be seen in her ability lead a meaningful and productive life because of the foundation for good health the vitamins are providing.

Impacto

Vitamin Angels started nearly 20 years ago. We continued to expand our reach and expertise annually. At first we accepted a variety of donated product and met needs on a case-by-case basis (e.g. disaster relief). Today, VA uses evidence-based research to identify proven interventions and distributes vitamins manufactured to WHO/UNICEF standards through a network of partners committed to reaching the same at-risk populations year after year. . We also continue to monitor and evaluate our partners to ensure best practices are being followed and to expand our technical support and training for partner org’s.

One dose of vitamin A twice a year can reduce child mortality rates in at-risk populations by 24% and the risk of early signs of blindness caused by VAD by 68%. Multivitamins improve physical and cognitive development.

Mercado

Bi- and Multi-lateral agencies (e.g., UNICEF, WHO, CIDA, USAID) and natl government programs reach approx. 70% of VAD children internationally through traditional ‘top down’ strategies using existing health care networks.
We target at-risk populations without regular access to facility-based health services (approximately 30% of the total need) through a network of over 200 intl and local NGOs who have a local presence and intimate understanding of the communities being served. Every project is tailored to the needs of the population being served while using accepted best practices.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

We’ve received 5 consecutive 4-star (highest) ratings from Charity Navigator for Financial Health, Accountability and Transparency. Most of our funding comes from cause-marketing campaigns with companies in the supplement industry. Our fundraising model is sustainable because it works for both parties; corporate partners improve brand reputation and customer loyalty and we benefit from increased funding and visibility.

Histório de Fundação

When the Northridge Earthquake hit S. CA in 1994, Howard Schiffer was running a natural products company and received a request for a donation of vitamins from a local relief agency. Upon learning about the global need for supplementation, Howard decided it was time to make a change; he left the for-profit world behind and founded Vitamin Angels. VA was the perfect union of his background in childbirth education and midwifery and his corporate background in developing and selling natural products to create an organization reaching children in need with vitamins using cause-marketing as a funding mechanism. Year 1: VA distributed 100,000 vitamins; this year we will distribute close to 200 million!

Elevator Pitch

Fortify works with the world’s leading food companies to iron-fortify
everyday diets of the world’s least nourished. The goal is to end the world's most common, widespread nutritional disorder, iron deficiency anemia, using the power of the free market, rather than relying on unsustainable aid.

Problema

Iron deficiency anemia affects 2 billion people, and kills at least 1 million each year. Women of childbearing age suffer the most. IDA causes more maternal deaths than HIV/AIDs and malaria combined. In developing regions, diets lack foods capable of replenishing the iron stores depleted by menstruation and childbirth. Also, WHO claims that IDA may be responsible for up to a 20% reduction in a nation's productivity.

Solução

No existing nutritional strategies have reduced IDA yet. Most food fortification programs focus on Vitamin A for children. Fortify focuses on iron, and foods that are part of the family meal, reaching women and girls who are the most neglected. Our first food target is processed tomatoes because the natural presence of ascorbic acid increases iron absorption, and lycopene boosts immunity. Tomato pastes and sauces are the most widely consumed processed foods in Sub-Saharan Africa, and are even available in rural markets. In Nigeria alone, each person, on average, consumes at least 3 servings of tomato-based products per week. Experts agree the best way of restoring iron is through routinely-consumed low doses of bioavailable iron.

Exemplo

In most developing countries, children are born to mothers who are micronutrient malnourished. Family meals are nutrient-poor, and infrequent. As girls grow into women, often more than 50% of them are stunted, which also means under-sized pelvises. Women are generally marginalized, which means they are the last to eat, and forced to do the most. Many become pregnant as teenagers. When a malnourished girl experiences labor, her pelvis is often too small for the baby, and she tears and hemorrhages. Her body has not stored enough iron to begin making new red blood cells. Hemorrhaging leads to death in many cases, because there are few hospitals, and even fewer opportunities for blood transfusions.

Impacto

Existing interventions have had little impact on the UN's MDG #5. Maternal mortality rates remain high, and fixing health care and infrastructure will take many years and government involvement. Reaching all girls and women with specialty products delivered by humanitarian groups is unrealistic and unsustainable. However, adding iron, this simple element that is critical to building blood, to simple foods already being consumed by millions, is very possible and can significantly reduce deaths, once implemented. Fortification works, as proven by the iodization of salt. The cost of adding iron will cost less than a penny per can. In countries, like Nigeria, where processed tomatoes are frequently consumed by most of the population, if we even only reached 1/4 of the population, we could positively impact the lives of 40 million people, and help stop mothers from bleeding to death.

Mercado

This problem is just starting to be addressed by organizations like the Flour Fortification Initiative. However, this work is not market-driven, but rather organized by NGOs targeting governments. Flour also is not the best vehicle for iron delivery, because when consumed with grains, absorption is reduced. Fortified flour does not reach rural areas, where up to 70% of the affected population lives. Limited commercial efforts exist. Nestle has recently added iron to bouillon distributed in Africa, and the government of China is working in cooperation with GAIN to add iron to soy sauce.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

Fortify seeks funding to support relationship-building activities with governments and global food companies, as well as to coordinate research, testing and evaluation. Future work should be supported primarily by corporate partners. Ultimately, if we are successful in convincing global companies that food fortification can be a valuable part of growing their businesses in emerging and developing markets, the need for our existence will cease.

Histório de Fundação

As a master's student at the University of Chicago's Harris School, I conducted independent research analyzing data on variables affecting maternal health outcomes in the developing world, and existing nutritional interventions. I discovered existing strategies had little to no impact, and that more women were dying from causes related to iron deficiency anemia (especially hemorrhaging) than any other cause or disease. As a mother of three healthy children, I personally experienced and survived hemorrhaging in the 30th week of my third pregnancy. I was determined to find solutions to help poor women in developing countries become nutritionally stronger and survive the perils of childbirth.

Ideally, Fortify would foster partnerships between the governments/Ministers of Agriculture in targeted countries and food companies and processors interested in building the farm-to-market value chain. Nigeria grows more tomatoes than any other country in Africa, yet there is no in-country tomato processing facility, and farmers are not able to sell much of their produce.

Um modelo de saúde WaterFirst

Healthpoint Services aims to transform rural healthcare by providing a scalable, profitable model for delivering safe drinking water and related health services to underserved communities in developing countries. We build and operate a water treatment center in each community we serve, and leverage that footprint and the daily water traffic and community trust to deliver health services.

Nome do seu projeto

Um modelo de saúde WaterFirst

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

The innovation is to build and operate community-scale water treatment centers (Waterpoints) in low-income emerging markets that have no source of safe drinking water. These units largely eliminate water-borne diseases and thus have a major health benefit in themselves and save families an estimated $50/year (costs of treating water-borne infections), Then we leverage that water footprint and infrastructure to provide additional health services (hence WaterFirst model). The water model is proven, its health impact is not in doubt, community penetration is high, and the price ($1.60/HH/month) is affordable. The water units become cashflow positive within 6 months of operation, and we are building about 20 additional units a month. But importantly, we see water as the leading edge for health services: we are now piloting sales of health commodities (sanitary pads, condoms, nutritional supplements for pregnant women) and health services (vaccination and eye camps, chronic care management of diabetes and hypertension) that leverage the water footprint, the traffic (300 households a day will typically visit the water unit to collect their safe drinking water), and the community trust. We have funding to reach 600 units (serving a catchment area of 3 million people) within the next 2 years, which will also make the company profitable and prepare us to take the model to multiple states of India and to other countries. Thus we believe that our WaterFirst innovation is a unique, scalable, and sustainable business model for delivery of preventive and clinical health services.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Healthpoint Services is a health company that provides water as part of its integrated health delivery strategy and as a key initial service in each new community we serve. That sets us apart. There are several other providers of community-scale water treatment in India, but none of them have a health model like our WaterFirst strategy--they are only water companies. Moreover, none of the other water companies are close to achieving profitability nor growing at the rate we are nor reach the levels of community penetration that we do, so their sustainability is in question and their social impact is significantly diminished. At the same time, we know of no other clinic network or rural health provider globally that also provides safe drinking water as a core service.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

We already operate 140 water units and have established formal procedures for acquiring new sites, building new units, and maintaining/operating existing units--working through regional managers, project coordinators, field supervisors, and local unit operators hired and trained from the community. Associated health services are under the supervision of our Chief Medical Officer, additional project coodinators, and mobile doctor/nurse teams assisted by village healthworkers. In addition, we partner with local governments via a 15-year lease on the land for the units and access to the community's source of raw water. Finally, we have a well-developed social marketing approach to engage communities and acquire customers. We use electronic data systems to track customers and operations.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

We monitor relevant new technologies globally(mobile diagnostic tools, water telemetry systems), supplier trends and costs (for water filters, vaccines, etc.) both in India and globally, and rural water and health provider practices in India generally. We do this both through extensive personal networks, but also by attendance at key global conferences.

Por favor, descreva mais detalhadamente: qual problema você está tentando resolver no contexto específico da organização?

We note that prevention of waterborne disease is not in your list of health areas, which is precisely the "health silo" we are trying to break out of. We prevent waterborne disease (both enteric infections that kill many infants and those caused by pesticide residues or high flouride levels). We provide access to vaccination, eye exams for cataracts and glasses, and health commodities such as sanitary pads, condoms, and nutritional supplements for pregnant mothers (aimed at widespread anemia), in communities where such access is lacking. We screen for and then can manage diabetes and hypertension. So what we do is fill gaps well beyond primary care, and without duplicating the primary care from public facilities. In effect, our WaterFirst model does not fit conventional categories.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

We provide safe drinking water to eliminate waterborne (infectious and chronic) disease and to establish a community footprint and trust. We provide in the community access to vaccinations, eye exams (and maybe hearing exams), screening for diabetes and hypertension that are often not caught early and follow-on maintenance if desired, advanced nutritional supplements to address maternal anemia and low birth weight, and key health commodities such as condoms and sanitary napkins. We continue to test additional health services deliverable with this model. But the key is that we can deliver these services sustainably and at scale in communities that are now poorly-served.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

Our vision is to transform rural healthcare, by demonstrating a sustainable and scalable delivery model that improves patient health and wellness. We sell water via a pre-paid monthly subscription. People pick up the water daily, giving us traffic at the facility to leverage for other health services. We also sell health commodities from the water unit, and we bring in doctors or nurses to provide periodic services in a "camp" mode--vaccination, eye (maybe ear) exams, for which patient pay, We also hire and train village health workers, equip them with tablets and mobile diagnostic devices and patient education materials, to provide screening for diabetes and hypertension to catch these at an early stage, with follow-on monitoring and periodic referral to a specialist when needed.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

We bring safe drinking water to communities that have no other source of this vital health/wellness service. We also bring health services that are generally not available in these communities. All of these are priced within the ability to pay of the majority of the community. And because our facilities and our technology are urban quality, they also appeal to the aspirations and pride of the community to have modern services. So the value proposition is modern quality services at an affordable price from a trusted brand and with the convenience of local access.

Quem são seus clientes?

The emergent middle class in rural villages and small towns--not the weathly landowners (5%-10%); not the below poverty line households (although that is slowly changing as incomes and aspirations grow (20%-25%); but the remaining 65%-75% is the emerging middle class of rural India, and our core market, of which we typically get more than half of the households within a given community as customers.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Sophisticated social marketing, including door-to-door informational campaigns, wall-paintings, events (including inauguration of the water unit, which is a major event attended by regional officials), and branding of products and services. We view our social marketing skills and strategies as our most valuable IP, and we do not share the specific strategies in detail.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

please see redundant descriptions above--we build and operate water treatment units and we provide health services and products.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Community-scale water providers do not compete directly--a village or small town can support only one, and the unserved market in huge--20,000 communities at least. But there are 4-5 other pure water companies--one of them run by an NGO, the others investor-backed. Their growth has stalled in recent years, and most have raised pricing and thus focus only on the high end of the market in a given community, with consequent low penetration. None are close to profitability: the best known company has raised over $20 million, but had $5 million in reported losses last year. Only Healthpoint Services is close to profitability. And none of these other water providers have a health strategy. Healthpoint Services, in contrast, is a health company with a WaterFirst strategy. So no problems.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

As described above, building a deeper management team is critical to our success. We are intensifying our recruitment efforts, and seeking grant funds to help provide bonuses or other incentives to retain key staff.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

We have a well-established growth plan with clear targets and milestones, described in more detail below. We expect to continue our water buildout, reaching 600+ units and profitability within 2 years, and begin rolling out the follow-on health services as each new water unit reaches cashflow breakeven (typically about 6 months after operations begin).

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Nova(s) região(ões).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

We already operate 140 water units and have secured funding to scale to 600+ units. So the water footprint is already growing and will make the company profitable within 2 years. We are now leveraging that footprint with the 2nd phase of the WaterFirst strategy by bringing a slowly-expanding array of health services that can be delivered in an integrated fashion with the water service.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

1) To reach 600+ units and profitability in 2 years, while rolling out health services approximately 6 months behind water unit operation in each community. 2) To expand in India to several thousand units. 3) To expand outside of India with the same WaterFirst model--Africa, Southeast Asia, and parts of rural Latin America.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

See previous question. 600+ units or communities served within 2 years; 2000 units in India within 5 years; and operations in at least 3 other countries within 5 years. The key activities are building a management team with sufficient depth to manage rapid expansion, and continuing to raise financing for growth.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

We provide safe drinking water every day to more than 30,000 households (220,000 people) in 140 communities.That prevents waterborne disease that causes diarrhea, stiff joints (from high dissolved solids such as flourides), and even cancer (from pesticide residues), saves families an estimated $50/year each (the cost of medicines to treat diarrhea), and saves days of work or school otherwise lost to illness. We also have provided more than 25,000 doctor consultations (mostly primary care), 20,000 diagnostic tests, and filled over 30,000 prescriptions, as well as providing vaccinations and other services. We are piloting specific health services described above that can leverage the water buildout, but cannot claim a large impact from these yet.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

We have partnered with the Center for Evaluation of Social Action at the University of California at Berkeley (a well-recognized poverty analysis unit), which has already conducted baseline studies in Punjab for a year, and is now initiating a multi-year randomized outcome study (funded by USAID) to document the social and economic impact of our water buildout.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

We believe on the basis of preliminary research and discussions with potential local partners that there is scope for our model in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia; in Nigeria, Ghana, and other African countries; and in rural Mexico and Central America.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

In 3 years, we expect to provide service directly (and daily) to about 1,300,000 beneficiaries in 750 communities, and our facilities will provide access to another 2 million potential customers, through our water service. We expect many of these customers to also avail our associated health services for vaccinations, eye and ear exams and accessing glasses, screening for chronic disease (for those over 30), or to buy our health commodities such as sanitary pads, condoms, and nutritional supplements, but cannot accurately estimate numbers as yet. We also expect to have begun piloting our solution in at least 2 other countries--most likely Nigeria and Philippines.

The current fund raise described above will finance growth for two years, by which time the company expects to be profitable. We will raise additional debt and equity capital to support growth in 2015, but on better terms because we no longer be loss-making. We will gradually expand the health services, and likely add mobile money transfer services, sales of such things as solar lanterns, and perhaps health insurance to our product line to further leverage our traffic and footprint.

My children were diagnosed with a genetic condition in 1994 and there was no treatment. We discovered there was no system for creating treatments. The aha came when I realized that while researchers were trying to find needles in haystacks, the haystack is made of needles - all citizens are able and willing if they are given the right tools - data sharing and access privacy preference tools.

Registros para todos: Reg4ALL

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

It is time for individuals to reclaim their health, like they claim every other aspect of their lives. The time for paternalism is over. It is time for individuals, families and communities to drive research— to decide who will use their health information and why. To be drivers of research. Then incentives will align. Researchers strive for promotions and funding, industry strives for blockbusters and profit, and even advocacy organizations often strive to sustain their organization. Reg4All was created with the radical idea that patients and researchers should be able to join an online network that would link the two together in the spirit of sharing information for the greater good. Patients gain access to potentially life saving clinical trials, researchers gain access to a centralized database of participants, and data will be freely shared (respecting each participant's custom sharing/privacy settings, of course!) in BOTH directions.

This idea changes the way people view their health, pushes researchers to a 2-way relationship with patients, and transforms a broken system that does not serve enough of the population.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Disease advocacy organizations have attempted registries. But lacking committed researchers, often do not meet their data usage goals, and are hard to sustain financially. Commercial orgs also attempt registries, but find it difficult to sustain an environment of trust. And both advocacy and research communities too often take a single-disease approach.

Reg4All is cross-disase. It is participant centric, with trust as a founding principle. And it is designed for the widest proliferation, helping create and sustain new relationships between participants and researchers.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

We operate on a 10+ year long foundation of openness, systems thinking, and respect of persons. We are a non-profit org that works like a lean startup. We surround ourselves with helpful voices. For example, we convened the ethics team for this project at its founding, making participant-centric governance a founding principle rather than just tacking on ethical oversight at the end.

We apply to health habits we've learned from the networked world. Less like traditional health research, more like facebook and twitter.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

Embracing Eric Ries' Lean Startup philosophies (Eric is a friend of one of our founders), we progress through product experiments. We see what works and we grow it. We see what doesn't work, and we adapt. We weekly (and sometimes daily) learn from our metrics and our qualitative feedback.

Think, Make, Check. Repeat. Innovation is a way of life, not a project.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

We have created a whole second 'product' to watch, mine, and learn from online and usage metrics (including visitors to site, conversion rate to account users, # abandoned accounts, engagement on site per visit, source of visitors, success of marketing campaigns, successful research searches, etc.).

We are in the process of building other metrics to measure more upstream impact such as clinical trials enrolled and at what speed, research questions formulated by individuals and communities and so on.

Where possible, we are thoroughly metrics-oriented.

In addition, we are commissioning longitudinal studies about use of Reg4All.

And we are seeking ways to quantify impact on the larger ecosystem.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

It is designed from the ground up to be global in reach and in service. Health and disease know no national boundaries. We are in discussions for pilot projects in India and China. This solution is particularly pertinent to areas of the globe which are currently being exploited in clinical trials because they are in less regulated countries. This will also leap frog problems we have experienced in more developed countries with a sense of powerlessness and the belief that they are channels that will work to solve that engagement. In less developed countries, individuals have some advantage in that they are not already in rigid structures that have failed in the developed nations. However, they will need simpler access, for example through text based products.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

In the next 1-3 years we will see a greater number of individuals in clinical trials. We will see those trials enroll faster, and less trials close because of 'low enrollment'. We will see more diverse clinical trials - they will not just be the healthiest quartile of white men, they will include minorities and other underserved communities. We will also see more individuals and communities understand that they can reclaim their health. They can drive the clinical questions in trials that they believe will benefit them most.

Ultimately we will see faster drug and other therapy development, decreasing the 17 year, 90% failure rate for a one billion dollar price tag. Any improvement will save enormous amounts of money.

Descreva sua estratégia financeira atual

We started with a grant from Sanofi. We added to that some in-house budget to get the pilot completed. In addition, development partners are donating some work.

Next, we simultaneously a) seek additional capital donations to fuel rapid growth ahead of sustaining revenue and b) begin to grow recurring revenue which will eventually sustain the whole project. Our strategy is to price access to data at price points vastly below current market rate. We are looking to iTunes and app store models - volume over high prices. At the present time, a pharmaceutical company might pay between $5,000 and $40,000 to accrue one individual into a clinical trial. We hope to make that price point less than $10 per person, or even better, a sustaining subscription model like Pandora or LinkedIn.

In addition, we are offering a Kickstarter type model for companies who seek individuals in specific disease areas.

We offer tiered pricing for sponsorship for the 13,000 pages in Disease InfoSearch, for links on those pages, and for the 13,000 associated surveys in Reg4All.

And finally, we will drive some pilot programs for companies or academic institutions in specific disease areas for costs well below their current ones.

Nome do seu projeto

E-Vouchers para Saúde Materna no oeste do Quênia

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Our first plan is to dramatically scale a proven e-voucher program that reduces financial, transport, and informational constraints to dramatically increase skilled facility-based deliveries in rural Kenya and to evaluate its impact using a randomized study design. We also further innovate and test ways to overcome cultural and gender-based constraints to maternal health care by engaging traditional birth attendants and husbands, and to improve the quality of care by incentivizing community health workers.
In addition, we have developed a microinsurance product that is procured on an individual's phone to overcome the challenge of distributing microinsurance and health services. Individuals who register, get a sequestered "wallet" in their phones in which they can save little by little as they accumulate enough funds, which automatically convert to premium when the set threshold is reached.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Our e voucher program replaces conventional paper voucher subsidy programs and reduces administrative costs by almost 50% whilst increasing reach in an unprecedented way.
Our phone based Microinsurance plan enables anyone with a mobile phone and a mobile money account to subscribe and register for insurance; thereby significantly increasing access whilst lowering the affordability barrier by enabling individuals save little by little in a sequestered account.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

Over 90% of Kenyans have no access to health insurance or any formal health plan and over 90% of Kenyans have access to mobile phones. The Government has put in place a conducive environment that supports innovation by eliminating taxes on IT hardware.
Changamka is an innovative organization, where new ideas are encouraged and nurtured; and investments made to support new ideas.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

Changamka invests heavily in research, monitoring and evaluation. Each of our projects has a research component to ensure that rigorous randomised evaluation is carried out and that results are fed back to ensure continuous improvement

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

We have engaged Community Health Workers who use a poverty tool to identify eligible women, deserving of maternal health subsidy vouchers. Those who qualify are registered, Bio data and photographs taken and uploaded into our Cloud based Online Payer Provider Platform. The women receive e- vouchers on their phones which they present on their visit to health facilities. Upon validation/verification of identity and schedule of benefits, services are rendered in an absolutely paperless process. Health facilitie are given timely payments without having to lodge any claims or issue statements.
Women not qualifying are registered on the microinsurance programme and encouraged to make regular savings on their phones until they reach the insurance premium threshhold.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

For the maternal health e voucher programme, our vision is to at least double the number of women delivering under skilled care in the selected districts, and eventually to scale this to the whole country. For the microinsurance programme, our first objective is to register at least 1 million families in the first twelve months and increase this to five million within three years.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

The affordability barrier can be reduced if individuals are given the mechanisms for saving in secure, sequestered little instalments on their mobile phones. Health Microinsurance is available to all who have access to a mobile phone and mobile money accounts. Access to healthcare is as easy as making a phone call.

Quem são seus clientes?

Our customer is the mother who needs subsidized Ante Natal, delivery and post natal services; the family which does not have access to health insurance but can put aside 40 US cents per day for this. Our other customer is the urban middle/lower class who need a solution to the health problems experienced by their close relatives living in rural areas

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

With the support and active involvement of the National and District Ministry of Health officials we introduced innovative Demand Creation activities comprising of among others interactive peer engagement forums at village level as well as SMS messaging with the result that in just over one month, we recruited more than 500 women into the experimental pilot program, demonstrating overwhelming demand for the vouchers.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Our primary activities involve communication and behaviour change campaigns, enrollment of eligible individuals into either the maternal health or microinsurance programs. We also engage Hospitals and make regular, timely payments to them.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Our peers and competitors comprise all who provide some form of health financing plans such as insurance companies and Health Management Organizations

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

Financing a social enterprise is a major challenge. In order to break the affordability barrier, our services have to be very low priced, meaning that we have to on board a large number of individuals. We have overcome this by developing a mobile application to enable individuals do a self subscription.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

We have established unmatched strategic partnerships with Safaricom, the largest mobile network operator; the ministry of health and Britam, one of the largest health underwriters in our market. Our strategy is to leverage the resulting synergies to create sustainable customer value. Safaricom's 17 million customers provide a captive market that can be easily retained through superior service.

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

Since launching in 2009, we have reached approximately 15,000 individuals. However, we were not content with the pace of scaling as our technology was expensive and not always reliable. We thus embarked on a technology upgrade that will now ensure that we reach 1 million families (approximately) 5 million individuals or 12.5% of the population within 12 months. This number is planned reach 5 million families (25 million individuals) or approximately 50 % of the population in 3 years.
Awareness creation and behaviour change are critical components of our activities. We have thus engaged with the Government to incorporate our activities into their plans in the areas in which we are operating. This has added critical validation to our operations.

The company has three product lines. Grants are for specific projects and to the extent of using our resources, get compensated for these resources, thus enabling us to cover a sizeable component of our overheads. Our social entrepreneurial line relies on grants. We have developed a commercial line- microinsurance which we expect to start returning profitability by the end of 2014. This line is planned to cross subsidise the loss making/social entrepreneurial lines of the business. We are currently seekung capital injection into the company to help realise the business goals that we have set.

We are launching a large microinsurance programme in June 2013. The marketing and distribution costs in year one are large and a loss is expected in year 1. However year 2 is expected to realise a small profit. Year three will see a major increase in profitability as the product will have matured and efficiencies also achieved especially in the areas of Marketing and Distribution. As a result we are currently seeking an injection of equity to the tune of $1 million to help us meet the initial costs of taking the product to market.

Elevator Pitch

To scale up our nutritional research by providing our village nurses with tablet computers so that they can gather crucial data in identifying risk factors and causes of malnutrition, correlate which diseases run in parallel circles of malnutrition as well as provide nutrition counseling to mothers.

Problema

Malnutrition is a huge problem in Bangladesh. The UN World Food Program estimates that 48.6% of Bangladesh's children under the age of 5 are chronically malnourished. These children suffer from such debilitating diseases as rickets, cleft lip/palate, preventable blindness, and brain and body growth retardation. Many are unable to remain in school due to their conditions and failure in school and are forced to drop out.

Solução

To qualitatively identify the main causes and risks of malnutrition in children under the age of 5 by providing our 9 rural village nurses with tablet computers to easily collect and enter valuable data which will be analyzed to develop solid answers. The village nurses will serve 50 families each to begin. Each nurse will provide nutrition counseling as well as teach mothers which nutritious vegetables to grow and how to do so successfully. This will prevent further children in those families from suffering, treat those children who have already succumbed to undernourishment and provide a community with the knowledge on how best to care for their children. HOPE will continue to train 20 more nurses to reach more regions and families.

Exemplo

The Village Nurse enters a home in which one mother has 3 children, all of whom appear underweight and sickly. After examining each child, the nurse determines they are underweight and malnourished. The nurse asks the mothers what the children have eaten in the past 48 hours and enters it into the tablet. The nurse further inquires why the children are not receiving some of the basic food staples. The nurse enters this information and proceeds to provide vitamins and counsel the mother on how to feed her children. She leaves behind information on how to best grow nutritional vegetables and fruits for the kids. The information gathered is sent to HOPE. The nurse returns to follow-up with the family and ensure proper healing and growth.

Impacto

Thus far HOPE has worked with 2 international physicians to conduct research at HOPE Hospital to assess the prevalence of undernourishment among children in Ramu. A study was conducted on 160 children aged 12 to 24 months. The child participants were given Vitamin A and Multivitamin syrup, and their parents were educated on nutrition and proper feeding techniques. There is a strong correlation between parents' educational levels and feeding habits. This has provided HOPE with the information to better develop our nutritional program and ensure that parents with lesser education are thoroughly educated. The study prevented 160 children from developing malnutrition-related diseases such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and the ultimate risk of malnutrition, mortality. Scaling up this project will help us reach 900 children given average family size of 4.4 to collect more data, educate, and prevent.

Mercado

BRAC is addressing nutrition in Bangladesh through its "Sprinkles" Program by selling micronutrient powder (Pushtikona) through its community health workers as well as providing it for free to ultra-poor families. Their approach is mainly targeted at reducing anemia. HOPE's project is different in that we are teaching mothers proper feeding through crops that grow locally, and that any family can plant. We're also targeting very rural populations where only HOPE has access to. The main difference in our projects is that we are conducting research in parallel to treatment.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

Our village health nurses will charge .25 cents to the families they visit. This is a nominal price for the detailed examination, treatment and education they receive. The nurses become self-sufficient through their compensation, therefore HOPE does not need to to support them financially. When HOPE trains more nurses we will ensure funding from our donors. This project is completely self-sustaining.

Histório de Fundação

Dr. Mahmood always recognized the lack of health care accessibility for the poor in Bangladesh and very soon after he began practicing, he set up HOPE Foundation. HOPE tirelessly raised money in order to build the 40-bed hospital that stands today. The hospital began as a rented 9-bed facility. Since the beginning, Dr. Mahmood has added specialized care services to the established maternal, child, and general health care. Whenever Dr. Mahmood identifies a treatable condition, he promptly develops a plan for addressing it and does not stop until he sees the project implemented and thriving. Recognizing the role this project could play in reducing child mortality and providing economic stability to nurses, he knew it would be successful.

If HOPE had the added capacity to include nutrient-rich farming, we would implement community gardens in the villages we serve in order to ensure a surplus of healthy foods for our families. The goal of this program would be to include the children in maintaining the gardens, so that they become wholly aware of the foods that they should be eating. In the long-run, these children will have these concrete notions towards healthy foods embedded in them, and will serve their children the correct, nutritious foods. We want to interrupt the trend of malnutrition on a higher level.

Elevator Pitch

The multiple micronutrient fortified salt developed by us, for the first time in the world, is a clinically and commercially proven way to provide micronutrients for all in the cheapest and guaranteed way. Our mission is to reach this salt to the needy particularly in developing countries.

Problema

Over 50% of women and children in developing countries suffer from iron, iodine, B12 ,folic acid , Vitamin A and zinc deficiencies. Anaemia causes decrease in productivity in adults and impairs cognition and learning in children and low birth weight in infants. Vitamin A and zinc deficiencies impair the immune system. B12 and folic acid deficiencies cause birth defects in the foetus. Food eaten by the poor is deficient in micronutrients.

Solução

Therapeutical solutions for multiple micronutrient deficiencies are not sustainable because of cost, logistic problems and lack of knowledge on micronutrient deficiencies. Salt is universally consumed by all. Hence salt is the best carrier to guarantee the reach of multiple micronutrients to all. We have developed for the first time in the world salt containing Vit A, iron, iodine , folic acid B12 and zinc at near RDA levels. We produce fortified crystal and powder salt. Our technology ensures that the micronutrients are stable in the salt during storage, during cooking and are bioavailable. Clinical trials have shown that the use of this salt increases productivity, memory, cognition,anthropometry and micronutrient levels in blood.

Exemplo

We have done social marketing of this multiple micronutrient fortified salt in Kariapatty, Gandhigram and Tirupattur in Tamilnadu.We had worked with Kasturba hospital, Gandhigram to improve the micronutrient status of pregnant women.For more than a decade we have been giving this salt to St Thomas home , Kolkatta,where it is given to tuberculosis patients. Several residential schools in Chennai have been using this salt to improve the micronutrient status of children.With BAIF,we have done multicentric studies in Gujarat,Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka where our salt enriched with iron and iodine(DFS) was used. DFS was also used by tea pickers in plantations. Thousands of users of this salt have reported enormous benefits in improved health.

Impacto

The multiple micronutrient fortified salt has improved statistically significantly the levels of iron, vit A,folic acid, B12 and zinc in the blood and urinary iodine proving that the micronutrients in our salt are stable and bioavailable. This salt has also improved anthropometry, memory and cognition in children. Our salt fortified with iron and iodine(DFS)has improved the productivity of tea pickers and reduced absenteeism due to fatigue in them. It has also improved the micronutrient status of pregnant women. Thousands of people who have used this salt have reported reduced fatigue, better ability to work, and decreased morbidity,especially in children.Since anaemia and other micronutrient deficiencies affect 50% of women and children and almost 25% of men too in India, and salt is universally used, the impact of combating micronutrient deficiencies through this salt is enormous.

Mercado

We are the only manufacturers of the multiple micronutrient fortified salt in the world both in crystal and powder form. There are few manufacturers of salt fortified with iron and iodine(DFS)in pure powder salt but none in crystal salt which is used by the poor predominantly.The iron in our salt is highly bioavailable and all the other micronutrients are microencapsulated for stability and bioavailability. We have an Indian patent.We are targeting the poor with fortified crystal salt which nobody has done.Current method of giving Iron and folate tablets have not been able to combat anaemia.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

We have produced a film on our salt for nutrition education for the poor-see youtube link. Our experience shows that when they see the film and understand the role of micronutrients and that the fortified salt is the cheapest way of getting micronutrients-half US cent per person per day, they are willing to buy our salt.If seed capital is provided for Nutrition education,enabling buyers pull,at our pricing,financial sustainability can be ensured.

Histório de Fundação

My father Mr K. Ramu of Sundar Chemicals Pvt Ltd was the pioneer who commercially made iron fortified salt in India in 1985. Since salt was universally used, he felt it would be an ideal vehicle to combat anaemia which was rampant in India then and now too. Universal iodisation became mandatory in late eighties, and hence we did our own Research to microencapsulate iodine so that it is stable along with iron in double fortified salt. We were the first company to launch commercially double fortified salt in India in 1992. Since 1998 we have been doing social marketing of the multiple micronutrient fortified salt. We are also pioneers in the manufacture of multiple micronutrient crystal salt for the poor since the poor use only crystal salt.

The seed capital/grant for nutrition education will create the pull from the buyers thus sustaining financial viability.

Shift of paradigm in the assistance of the Obstetrical Emergencies

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Because 10-15% of the childbirths have random complications and for each neonatal / maternal death, there was an emergency that was not recognized and/or well handled, PACE promotes a program of training in Obstetrical Emergency. The innovation is the approach of the Program. It consists not only in training health providers, but it also optimizes the results in the assistance of the obstetrical emergency and the neonatal care through institutional alignment (Chain of Survival), based on the critics needs of the mother and her or his child, and on the effectiveness of health providers. PACE provides a TRAINING program of staffs that maintains this model of Paradigm Shift. The project is for women of rural areas and natives of different regions from Mesoamérica and has a goal of an innovating system of integrated interventions that assures that each woman who looks for medical care makes contact with First Obstetric Respondent (PROC). If an emergency is identified, she enters the Critic Route of the Chain of Survival, obtaining that all levels of assistance are related for the women and newly born child’s care.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

The training moves from programs oriented to providers as individuals towards a training centered in the patients and teams in all the levels of medical education, supported by the respective sanitary jurisdiction to improve the alignment of the assistance. The training is trans-institutional and emphasizes on the use of protocols based on scientific evidence, the use of memory aid, simulations and the certification of competitions. This strategy has demonstrated to be successful in rural contexts of countries like Mexico.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

The operating system is training by saturation to all providers of the different assistance levels and within a sanitary jurisdiction. Thus, all share the same language, processes and networks of work, generating strong bonds between all the levels of assistance and integrating the different institutions. This modality occurs through the modular training with the courses of Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics (ALSO), Basic Life Support in Obstetrics (BLSO) and First Obstetrical Respondent for Communities (PROC), a program derived from the programs ALSO and BLSO, that enables the community workers (promoters, auxiliaries, and midwives) so that they offer assistance in the first edge of contact. The courses are supported by highly trained instructors.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

Making evaluations and re-evaluations of the Program, finding difficulties and solving them. In that way we avoid the stagnation of the program and assure the innovation and the growth of it. In addition, to assure the growth we generate alliances with governmental organizations, NGOs, Academies and Universities, among others, which aid to expand the project, to give greater diffusion and an important institutional endorsement, allowing a recognition of the authorities of the country. This has put PACE Program always to the vanguard regarding Medical Emergency training.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

The PACE Program / ALSO is based on the critical needs of the mother / son / daughter in the institutional alignment and effectiveness of the providers within the community context. The goal is to optimize the results in the care of obstetric emergencies and neonatal care. It is a training program based on teams that supports this model Paradigm Shift in addressing maternal and newborn health. The training and certification programs move from the providers as individuals towards a centered training / patients and teams at all levels of medical training (PROC, and ALSO BLSO) supported by the respective health jurisdiction to improving the alignment of assistance.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

The PACE program, based on the spirit of multinational humanitarianism and professionalism in Emergency Medicine, has a vision of collaborative mechanisms to develop and improving each and every one of the links related to Emergency Medical Care in Mexico and Latin America through programs that disseminate culture and knowledge to health professionals involved in such care.
The particular goal for this challenge is reaching a saturation training for all providers who care for obstetric emergencies, managing to move from training providers oriented programs as individuals towards a patient-centered training to teams of all levels of assistance.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

The MULTILEVEL PACE / ALSO project is aimed at rural women and indigenous people from different regions of Mesoamerica and its goal is to scale an innovative integrated interventions to ensure that every woman who seeks medical assistance, contact the First Obstetrics Responder (PROC). And if an emergency is identified, she enters the critical path of the Chain of Survival. With this, we ensure that all levels of care are in close relationship to provide the MAXIMUM in quality of care.

Quem são seus clientes?

Ultimately, the beneficiaries of this Program and its Model of Care obstetric emergencies are women and their sons / daughters.
In addition, the whole community is benefited since the program allows its empowerment and also values the place that women occupy in society.
Finally, it also benefits the health workers at all levels of care, because through training they are better prepared to assist obstetric emergencies.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

The training approach is the saturation of all the providers and levels of care within a given health jurisdiction. Thus all share the same language, processes and networks, creating strong links between all levels of care and integrating the different institutions throughout the Chain of Survival.
This method is through modular training based on the experience of the Advanced Life Support in Obstetrics courses (ALSO), Basic Life Support in Obstetrics (BLSO) and First Obstetrics Responder for Communities (PROC).

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

ALSO is a course of two days (BLSO is just one day), based on scientific evidence where the use of mnemonics and simulations aims to develop psycho-motor skills. There is an evaluation / simulation and formal certification process. There are strict quality controls and the providers and instructors ALSO generate an "Identity". The First Obstetric Responder for Communities (PROC) is a derived of ALSO and BLSO programs and aims to train community workers as (promoters, auxiliaries and midwives) to provide care in the first line of contact and to activate the whole EmOC system.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

There are other organizations and/or institutions that provide the same service of training for obstetric emergency care. What make PACE different is that proposes a model-based training system, ie, training ALL the SYSTEM care, thus strengthening the link between the different levels and, finally, optimizing the care of women and newborns, increasing their survival when they have to deal with an obstetric emergency.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

There would be economic, political or cultural challenges. PACE Center has learned to overcome different situations thanks to the presence of volunteers and the efforts of doctors (of Mexico and North America). In addition, we have taken advantage of the help of internal programs to support the finances. We have been recently incorporated as Global and International Health PACE in the United States to apply for national and international grants. Last but not least, we trained staff of the Ministry of Health under contract so that we can follow a replication model of our programs.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

The project is at an advanced expansion stage. However, the establishment of a PACE Center in the country’s south region, would allow our Programs to achieve wider dissemination not only in Mexico but throughout Mesoamerica, thus establishing our innovation paradigm shift in the care of obstetric emergencies.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Novo(s) grupo(s) de cliente(s), Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

The PACE / ALSO Program has shown great impact and success in all Mexico. This is what makes us believe that we can expand to the entire Mesoamerican region, collaborating with achieving one of the main goals of the area, the reduction of maternal mortality.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

The expansion of the program to the Mesoamerican region, training more providers of obstetric emergency care, and finally, decreasing maternal and neonatal mortality.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

In the short term, the main goal is to establish a PACE center in southern Mexico, in the state of Chiapas. From there, the long-term goals would be the expansion of the program to rural and indigenous regions of Mesoamerica, establishing different points from which would expand the program in the region. As a general and final purpose we propose the establishment of a paradigm shift model in the assistance of obstetric emergencies.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

The program has had an impact from the point of view of the number of the trained providers. During these 7 years it has trained over 4000 providers throughout the Mexican territory. Besides the PACE / ALSO Program, Mexico has helped develop ALSO Program in different Latin American countries, including Chile, Argentina, Panama and Costa Rica.
The program has also been recognized by different entities as one of the obstetric emergencies training programs that has had more impact on reducing maternal mortality. Among them is the recognition of the Ministry of Health of the state of Chiapas and Mexico and the mention to the ALSO Program in the Comprehensive Strategy to Accelerate the Reduction of Maternal Mortality in Mexico drafted by the National Center for Gender Equity and the
Reproductive Health of the Ministry of Health of the Federal Government of Mexico.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

The methodology to assess and monitor the impact is based and will be based on:
1) Interviews to ALSO, PROC and BLSO providers and instructors, and on experiences in managing obstetric emergencies.
2) Quantitative indicators such as obstetric morbidity (near miss), mortality, use of magnesium sulfate, use of blood products, rate of cesarean delivery, Apgar score at 5 minutes, APEO (post event contraception obstetrics), and admission ICU and NICU, use of vacuum or forceps.
3) Qualitative indicators to measure the efficiency of the process: activation of the chain of survival to resolve obstetric emergencies.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Mexico has 110 million inhabitants, of which 17% live in rural areas. These 19 million people live mostly in southern states like Chiapas, Oaxaca and Guerrero and are indigenous and poor. The same happens in other regions of Mesoamerica, where a large percentage of the population is indigenous and poor. This is where we bring our solution because we are convinced that it will bring what it needs to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality in the region.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

We plan not only doubling or tripling ALSO, BLSO and PROC providers in the region, but also the decreased of the rates of maternal and neonatal mortality in different countries of the region.
We believe that by setting the PACE Center in southern Mexico, in the state of Chiapas, and through linkages with various regional and national governments, the program can be expanded thorough all countries of Mesoamerica. We already have the support of various institutions both governmental and non governmental organizations to achieve the goal of generating a change in the assistance of obstetric emergencies.

Elevator Pitch

MYRO NUTRITIONAL VENTURE PROVIDES SOLUTIONS TO MICRO-NUTRIENT MALNUTRITION. FORTIFYING STAPLE FLOURS & MAKING SPECIALLY FORMULATED READY TO USE FORTIFIED PEANUT BUTTER FOR OVER 500 MILLION CHILDREN & YOUNG WOMEN WHO ARE LIMITED BY EXPENSE & IMPRECISION TO ACCESS IRON, VITAMIN A & ZINC.

Problema

According to a World Bank global health status report, malnutrition is the most pressing health problem implicated in the deaths of 16,000 children worldwide everyday & adversely affects the physical/cognitive development of generations of children. The consequential failure to tackle Malnutrition places it as a common underlying factor that continues to derail the achievement of all the 8 MDGs.

Solução

Staple Food fortification has been endorsed by the 2008 Copenhagen consensus as the least expensive/most reliable approach to address micro-nutrient deficiencies on a larger scale. The strategy uses staple flours & peanut butter concoction called RUTF (Ready to use Therapeutic Food) that is specially formulated to treat severely malnourished kids as delivery vehicles for the critical micronutrients, avail them through affordable retail distribution in rural, low market urban areas in smaller packs of $0.4 that the majority millions in the survival markets can access. The economy packs to the majority who live on $1-2 a day generate low unit margins but profitable volumes to ensure financial growth and scalable.

Exemplo

For many years malnutrition seemed like a hopeless problem. With the invention of (Ready to use Food) the treatment changed from an inpatient, very ineffective process to a very hopeful process. For the first time mothers could come to a community program and get little fortified packets of flour meal/peanut butter and take them home with them to treat their kids at home. MNV started just 9 months ago, with a dream of making RUTF and developing other products like it. We now supply NGOs and others, but we want to grow into new markets...especially developing consumer markets so we can supply more life saving food to our delivery partners. The entire global budget for RUTF is $150 million.

Impacto

Since inception 9 months ago, We have saved 10,000 kids from severe acute malnutrition & we've Each day gotten closer to reaching our goal of reducing widespread Iron deficiency anemia, vitamin A, zinc,& folic acid deficiencies among millions of children & young women.
*We’ve contracted 234 farmers through their cooperatives to produce grain amaranth, moringa oleifera & mushroom.
*Introduced a new micro-nutrient packed seasoning premix with numerous health benefits packaged in 50g reusable dispensation bottles/100g sachets used to season any food just like with iodized salt.
* Installed an-all-important micro-nutrient fortification facility that proportionally dispenses micronutrients into flour during processing.

Mercado

Social enterprises dedicated to bring health through nutrition to the poorest communities in developing countries already exist and the Honey Well Foods Company is a good example, but these initiatives remain limited. From our knowledge, there is no “social nutrition companies” developing tailor-made RUTF products for poor communities. The key specification that will distinguish our RUTF product from the individual compounds already available on the market will be the strong social, scientific and clinical background supporting the value of its formulation.

Plano de Sustentabilidade

As a social venture addressing a social objective, the financial tactics will consist in generating a symbolic dividend of 1 to 6% annually that will be re-invested to expand the company building of new facilities and improve the product. Various funders such as governments, private and public non-profit foundations, corporations and impact investors will be approached and asked to participate in the capital increase over time.

Histório de Fundação

Michael Iyanro was born in a humble rural set up in kano town of Nigeria. His parents struggled to raise the 7 of them solely through subsistence farming for the entire part of his childhood years. This childhood experience facing manifestations of malnutrition shaped his thinking and planted in him the determination to steer his communities out of malnutrition, its devastating socio-economic effects and poverty into nutritional autonomy. When he earned his degree in Biology, he got a job where he tried in vain to convince the management to adopt some social aspects in the business to reach out to the poor. He eventually opted out to initiate & drive the concept he believed could reach out to the emerging markets, thus MNV was formed.

Nome do seu projeto

Consultation with the community

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Tthe health of the children and women depends on the production and distribution of adequate nutrition. The model is an integrated rural development model run in the community by the participants on the basis of cooperation. Each person that starts up an agriculture business will follow moral leadership training to ensure that all work in harmony and focus on service
to the community. The agriculture model takes into consideration climate change challenges and allows each farmer to use his initiative to succeed. The model uses agroforestry, intercropping, indigenous planting techniques, among others. Families of children and pregnant or breastfeeding women receiving supplement will also become involved in initiating small agriculture businesses so that their incomes may increase. .

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

All decisions are based on a process of consultation between the different instances of the organization and project participants. Our international organization is consulting with local organizations for the planning and training components. The project itself begins with community consultation of local government, NGO and civil society representatives to ensure that the needs of all are heard. The consultation- action- reflection model allows for each step of our work to be evaluated by those involved and innovative ideas to be put into practice. Colloboration with international knowledge sharing organizations brokered by our organization allow people on community level to profit from newly generated discoveries. We rely on traditional knowledge that respects the environment.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

We collaborate with a local organization who assist ex-miners to rebuild their lives after leaving the mines. their participation will allow ongoing monitoring of progress. Reflection and consultation about each action undertaken is part of the process of development. We intend to have the participants in the project work involved in the reflection and consultation too. These participants will be invited to form marketing consulation groups so they can share ideas and continue to collaborate. Ongoing surveys of the nutritional status of the children and women will be undertaken by the local organization affiliated with World Foundation for Prosperity and Autonomy. We intend to establish an affiliation with the International Research Centres for Agriculture and Nutrition so that new knowledge can be constantly integrated into the local activities via the local organizations.

Many children die of malnutrition related diseases, and many more are stunted for life due to inadequate protein intact in childhood. Adequate nutritional status of pregnant and breastfeeding women can ensure a better health state of the future generation and for their own health and for raising these children. It has also been shown that adequate nutrition for people living with AIDS can give them a longer and more productive life. We are particularly working on creating autonomy in economic growth by assisting participants in starting up small agriculture businesses that will provide the income necessary to buy foods not grown and provide other needs and possibly further education. Providing microfinance loans can eliminate a barrier to income generation activities of rural people.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

Bring local governement, NGO's and civil society together to elucidate specific needs and skills available. Create collaborative project activities followed up by reflection and further consultation.
Income generation based on agriculture and the use of local resources. Marketing groups of community participants. Production and distribution of nutritional and health needs in the community. Monitoring by local organizations to ensure sustainable action.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

What is the value of the health and life of a child or a woman? Too many are dying from lack of resources and collaborative action. Assisting people to provide their own adequate nutrition and other needs has a long reaching effect on this and other generations of healthy citizens.

Quem são seus clientes?

People (primarily parents and gardiens of young children, pregnant or breatfeeding women) who have inadequate nourishment and those responsible for them.(government , NGO's )
Farmers and gardeners in the rural communities who can benefit from increased income, and those responsible for assisting them.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Invitation to community meetings to consult about the project activities and share about needs and possible resources.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Community consultation about needs. Invitation to community members to participate as cultivators or food supplement producers; training of participants in moral leadership, agriculture techniques, basic nutrition, small business management...

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

People that see success and are not directly involved in it, tend to become jealous and try to destroy the activities and participants. The training within the participant group will create a strong collaborating mentality. Ongoing consultations among local goverment, NGO's and the community participants with ongoing invitiation to new participants is a first step. Open communication among all involved will hopefully reduce this kind of abuse from happening
Certain environmental practices such as burning the earth are much a part of the way of life of the community members. Ongoing educational workshops with possible participation of university and researchers can gradually bring in more environmentally friendly practices. The project invites people to cultivate organically.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

Consolidation of the planning group; initial community consultation ; assuring that the community structures are working together in harmony; monitoring of participant marketing groups for constantly increasing sale of agricultural products; sharing of feedback so that all participants can improve their practices.
Project groups in other regions and in other countries can then be established

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Nova(s) região(ões).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

When the planning group is communicating in harmony and each person taking responsibility for their role (in country 1) and the project is working smoothly with ongoing evaluations within the community, expansion to other areas in the country repeating the model will be possible.
In other countries the planning and action must follow the same guidelines, assuring communication with our NGO.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

From one project in Lesotho to ten district projects; an intial project in two other African countries in the next two years followed by expansion in each of these countries to project in each district of those countries. One initial project in a South American country followed by expansion in that country, as well as initial and further projects in Haiti. Communication among all these actions

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

First project established within the next year; ten projects within the next two years. Ongoing monitoring to ensure stability. First projects in two African countries during the second year of running of the first in Lesotho. Assurance of the consolidation of our organization and all local organizations during this time. Expansion to districts of the two African countries during the third year of action (second year in those countries). Year four, a Haitian project; year five, a South American project. Ongoing evaluation of all project activities by feedback through local organizations to the NGO in Canada and periodic visits of WFPA staff. Communication among projects via a bimonthly newsletter or magazine. Eventually radio programming about project activities in each country.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

A small workshop to produce the food supplement was set up showing the interest of community women for the activity. Some community women involved children in the picking of leaves for the workshop. Farmers contracted to grow vegetables and herbs. The need for the moral leadership training became evident and communication begun with local organizations has taken much time to develop and is in progress. The impact at this stage is the learning being acquired by WFPA and the lcoal organizations in working together which will be invaluable when we soon begin the community consultations. The model for collaborative action is being set and we can build on this success in our future actions. interest and the need for the project activities have been established in several districts of Lesotho as preparation for the launching of the programme. Consultations with possible collaborators in other African countries are underway, as is a communication with an agriculture research centre. We calculate the impact in each country initially to touch 5000 children and pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as 600 participant farming families.

ately 200 words left (1000 characters)

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

Consultation- reflection - action. Baseline surveys of nutritional status and of income level of participants. Evaluation of these variables after each year of the project. Health statistics from Health Ministries will show change in malnutriton and stunting levels of the children and women.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

.We believe this ation can be carried out, and should be, in any country of the world that has some land for cultivation The types of plants grown may have to be modified according to soil types, climatic conditions and possible innovative developments (like greenhouses for harsher climates or irrigation for very dry areas. The project is designed to be adapted to many situations and specifically focuses on water retention and agroforestry for improved agricultural production. In each country or region, the project participants can chose the kinds of plants that are most appropriate and can consult with the agriculture research centres about the best trees to use around vegetable plots. The innovation can be used in countries to prevent children dying before they are five years old

We are seeking funding from aone Canadian source initially as a pilot project in Lesotho and from another that will allow actions in several countries.. At one point in the life of the project in Lesotho and in the other countries ,a small fee will have to be charged to families of the young children and the women receiving supplement. There is also a plan for the supplement to be packaged and sold outside of the project through pharmacies and other markets that will be developped by the participants and the local organizations in collaboration. The revenues from agricultural activities will first serve to pay back microfinance loans and then a small amount will be requested from each participant to continue paying the monitoring and assistance activities of the local NGO members. Rnning of the Canadian NGO WFPA is primarily based on offering the training programme to groups planning actions in the country or overseas.

Sweet Mothers Inc

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

The innovation uses ideas from two sectors, health insurance and mobile money to build a social enterprise that delivers essential health services for women through a micro health insurance for maternal health services. Health insurance has long been for the upper class who can afford the institutional price of the products and the professional class who are able to procure insurance through their employers. The poor have long been ignored by this sector and left to deal with financial ruin each time someone in their family gets ill or needs maternal health services. Also, the mobile money sector is growing in Nigeria and there are various firms offering services for the unbanked poor. Our innovation allows poor pregnant women to buy micro health insurance for maternal health services using the banking services they can easily access.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

The business model is different because of our target market, products and business model. We target an untapped market of low income and middle income women who are pregnant and are at a stage in their lives where health seeking behaviour is at the highest. We are committed to our dual mission, to make money so that the business is sustainable and to provide social services by delivering access to maternal health services for this un-served and underserved population. Our company introduces Innovative products delivered through an innovative channel using the paradigm of social entrepreneurship and dual bottom lines.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

Mobile money is new in Nigeria and there are many interesting companies offering great services. Our company plans to partner with these companies which helps us launch immediately and allows us to focus on the products and financial sustainability instead of spending time building the product access channels. Our organisation will be successful due to the culture of our company and the quality of our team.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

We plan to constantly innovate and iterate our products by building innovation into each component of our business. As we launch products, and get essential feedback from our customers, we will tweak our product so as to better deliver services. We believe constant innovation is possible if we adopt the concept of build-measure-learn feedback loop and lean thinking.

95.8% of all health care spending in Nigeria is done through out of pocket payment, including maternal health services. This often leaves the poor open to financial ruin due to health bills and sometimes prevents them for seeking health services even when they are already showing symptoms of ill health. Each year, Nigeria loses 545 women for every 100,000 births. Only 58% of Nigerian women have access to antenatal services which saves lives before and during birth, most of this is due to the inability to pay for health services. Our company solves this problem by providing micro health insurance for the poor and middle class who are unbanked for maternal health services using mobile money technology.

East Meets West: Saving Newborn Lives through Appropriate Technology in Low-Resource and Inefficient Markets

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

East Meets West (EMW)’s fastest growing healthcare program is Breath of Life (BOL), which tackles infant mortality and morbidity by equipping hospitals with new, durable neonatal equipment appropriate for low resource settings and staff training in neonatal care. Some 54,000 babies are being treated each year through EMW-provided neonatal equipment.

The equipment suite developed in this way comprises resuscitaires (which double as open-care warmers), highly effective blue light-emitting-diode (LED) phototherapy for the treatment of jaundice (replacement lights not required for 50,000 hours – 5.7 years if used continuously), and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for providing advanced respiratory support to sicker infants requiring oxygen supplementation. Initial training and equipping of Vietnamese national level hospitals was followed by the use of these hospitals as training centers for doctors and nurses from lower level hospitals, and the provision of equipment to those hospitals.

Since the program launch in 2005, East Meets West’s Breath of Life has been successful in addressing the issue of infant mortality in Vietnam through the provision of key medical equipment to hospitals and clinics, integrating these technologies into the medical system, training medical personnel (doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners) and working with local health authorities to increase the capacity of newborn care.

East Meets West's understanding of the "bottom of the pyramid" market allows BOL to replicate our work and make rapid, scalable impact in new areas.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

BOL’s innovative and holistic approach addresses the issue of “innovation pile up,” a problem in which lifesaving technology never reaches the intended beneficiaries. Our emphasis on working with strategic local partnerships, providing ongoing training to medical practitioners, local technical assistance, and regular monitoring and evaluation builds the capacity of public health systems in the developing world that lack the staff, training, or infrastructure to utilize these burgeoning innovations.

While there are other devices currently in the market, most notably the Rice University bubble CPAP, the Breath of Life device is not only low-cost, but built to be appealing and simple to use for medical practitioners. An innovation is effective so long as the beneficiaries make use of it.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

East Meets West values partnerships with clinicians and medical professionals in local hospitals in Asia. Our experienced field staff work closely with doctors and nurses to provide appropriate training and gather feedback from these practitioners. The development of the Breath of Life suite of medical devices was the result of extensive testing and evaluation of the device with close involvement of the medical staff at the National OBGYN Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. It is the close collaboration with local medical staff that make the BOL program an innovation that is successful and sustainable.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

In recent years, EMW has expanded into eight countries throughout Asia and piloting in West Africa, so we have learned to adapt our programs to varying conditions and environments. Our public/private partnership with social enterprise Medical Technology and Transfer Services (MTTS) provides us a resource for R&D to test out new innovations and changes to our medical devices.

East Meets West's mission is to find innovative solutions to challenging development problems. We attempt to address the severe lack of appropriate medical technology built for the developing world. These are devices that are low-cost, durable (resisting heat and humidity), use little to no consumables, have manuals in the local language, readily available technical assistance, local training for medical practitioners to properly operate the devices, and appropriate monitoring to evaluate impact.

Due to market failures, the "bottom of the pyramid" has been an untapped market for locally appropriate medical devices, and we feel that our suite of BOL equipment has and will continue to prosper in that niche.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

Breath of Life's solution to the lack of healthcare in emerging markets is to provide custom-designed, low-cost equipment to hospitals, and targeted training to medical personnel, to save the lives of infants suffering from common newborn pathologies. To ensure sustainability, BOL works to strengthen linkages with local health authorities to involve them in integrating these technologies into the larger health system.

When EMW provides a hospital in the developing world with the full range of Breath of Life equipment, this complex of innovative technologies constitutes a cost-effective, durable, low-maintenance NICU, or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to effectively treat premature infants and other newborns with life-threatening health conditions.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

While global under-five child mortality rates have been decreasing in recent decades, the rate of neonatal mortality has been on the rise. Annually, 43% of all child deaths occur in the first four weeks of life, the crucial neonatal period. Yet typically, newborn care is the branch of medicine with the least investment, research and innovation.

The Breath of Life program aims is to equip and empower medical institutions at all levels to provide appropriate, responsive newborn care, from national hospitals to regional facilities and clinics throughout the developing world. The strategy starts with the provision of equipment and training at the highest, most centralized level, then expanding out to train staff and supply facilities in more remote areas.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

East Meets West's Breath of Life (BOL) program develops customized, clinical solutions to significantly reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity in developing countries. Our value proposition is as follows:

Locally manufactured by MTTS (Medical Techology Transfer Service)
Instructions, controls, and manuals in local language
Replacement parts easily obtained
Accessible technical support and maintenance
Tested in conditions of actual use and appropriately adapted
Durable and low maintenance
Low-cost
Not reliant on expensive consumables
Warrantied (3 years, no questions asked)
Scalable for each country, hospital, clinic conditions

Quem são seus clientes?

Public and private neonatal hospitals and clinics in the developing world with high level of births, mortality and morbidity rates. Ministries of health, local and provincial governments.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Contact with local doctors to become advocates of the BOL program. The appeal of the BOL suite of medical devices that are functional and incorporated with technical assistance and monitoring
CPAP to address respiratory distress syndrome (RDS)
LED phototherapy machine to treat neonatal jaundice
Infant resuscitation station
Portable “bilibed” to provide both phototherapy treatment and heat
Pulse oximeters to measure oxygen levels in the blood
Hand sanitizers

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Breath of Life concentrates its resources on designing and distributing equipment solely for the critical newborn period, because by supplying the basic package of equipment and providing first-rate training for the medical personnel who will use it, many lives can be saved.

BOL distributes equipment designed and produced by EMW technical partner MTTS (Medical Technology Transfer Services), which conducts its research and development in the field. Machines based on globally developed designs are designed for local conditions, tested in real clinics and hospitals, then adjusted. Local manufacture means manuals and controls in local languages and easy access to parts and technical help. BOL machines are durable, easy to use, and don't use expensive consumables— ensures sustainability.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

As EMW and BOL continues to grow, we expect that other medical device manufacturers will see the potential of addressing the urgent need of locally appropriate medical technology. We see this as encouraging, in that the BOL program model is flexible to work with other devices as appropriate. EMW's area of strength is our ability to identify market failures in the medical infrastructure, and make linkages to partners, funders and manufacturers to develop an impactful and sustainable health delivery system for newborn babies.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

As with many NGOs, our challenge is to further scale our work with the limited resources (financial, human) available. We address this constraint by constantly looking for local partnerships that are aligned and mutually beneficial, where ever we choose to expand.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

Our strategy is continue to identify markets that have a large potential for growth and impact (Myanmar, for example).

We continue to develop MTTS as a enterprise focused on effective and innovative solutions to medical device manufacturing and distribution.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

Our BOL staff are actively looking to expand in other countries as appropriate, leveraging our experience and expertise in implementing BOL in eight countries to date.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

-number of BOL devices installed
-use and maintenance of devices in hospitals and clinics
-number of new countries to expand

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

Short term (2 years): Expansion and establishment of BOL program to another region, such as West Africa, with local manufacturing and technical assistance.

Long term (5 years): Along with partnerships with private enterprise/local government/medical institutions, have a global presence in emerging markets to distribute, install and implement the BOL model.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

As of 2013, the Breath of Life Program treats over 54,000 babies each year through Breath of Life technologies operating in eight countries in Asia. We have distributed 650 Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines and other neonatal medical devices to over 300 hospitals, and have intensively trained over 2,400 medical staff in advanced newborn care and the operation of BOL neonatal equipment.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

Using rigorous impact evaluation, our Breath of Life team will quantify our impact using the proposed indicators:
• Inputs (machinery installation + training) delivered on time and within budget;
• Outputs (machine use) demonstrated through monthly monitoring;
• Mortality outcomes: Decrease in mortality by birthweight for inborn infants: a) 1000-1499g; b) 1500-1999g; c) overall; and
• Morbidity outcomes: Decrease in the number of exchange transfusions.

The proposed indicators are restricted to ensure that additional data collection required at the hospitals is restricted to the absolute minimum; data collectors will be employed at each hospital, and trained by our staff.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Absolutely. In recent years the BOL program has since expanded to eight countries in South and Southeast Asia, including pilot programs in India, the Philippines, Myanmar and Benin. Experience with this expansion highlights the critical differences between countries, and has led us to conclude that the program is flexible enough to respond appropriately to local circumstances and challenges. Pilot programs allow BOL to identify local issues and develop relationships with local partners while establishing infrastructure for in-country training.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

As BOL continues to expand in other countries and regions, we expect to replicate and scale the program to other emerging markets that are suitable for the BOL program. Part the assessment involves identifying local partners and champions in the medical community, the capacity of medical practitioners and local manufacturers, partnerships with ministries of health and other organizations to implement the program and bring it to scale.

2.System allows us to automatically send voice reminders based on a customizable schedule using algorithms . eg: The system can be used to send Prenatal and post natal related vaccination reminders to expecting mothers.

3.The system allows us to communicate real time information to a targeted group of people. eg: The system can be used to send voice reminders to all families in a village who have female child less than 10 years of age for the upcoming health camp.

4.The design of the system is designed in such a way that it fits right into the structure of development sector organisation / funding organization which generally have a head office and several area offices. We will be providing separate login ids to all the area offices and head office. The system user at the head office can operate on a much larger basis by working on the data gathered by all the area offices.

5. The system also allows us to import data from already existing databases. eg: National Population register, It will save us the cost of collecting the data and also ensures verifiability/authenticity of the data.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

There are some organization in the field like Emamta , Awaaz de, Armaan Foundation (AF) but they are limited by the medium they use (emamta is sms based), the scale of operation (AF has developed voice based tool but for inhouse purpose only- its not scalable.) Also there is as such no platform which allows for automatically sending out of personalized voice messages based on a schedule (eg: pre and post natal vaccination reminders). Our model is very easy to use , scalable and can be implemented in any development sector organisation (DSO) without much modification. Our model gives the power in the hand of the DSO. Our model makes ensure that call is regenerated in case the message is not communicated. The system also take feedback from mother about timely administration of vaccine.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

Some of the characteristics of the community which is ideal for the testing are as follows:

1. High mobile-penetration
2. Environment not conducive for proper information dissemination
3. Cases of failure of existing government schemes due to low awareness
4. Uncertain and dynamic weather and environmental conditions
5. Low immunization levels
6. Cases of inactive front line health workers ( ASHA workers).
7. Highly spread out villages, making information exchange very tough

International Organisation Factory:
1. Good mix of people in our team

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

We have used Incremental Design as a software development stratergy where in the core module is sending voice reminders to a registered number. Other module have been built over it which includes other functionality like system generated personalized reminder, Feedback call, Auto Calling to user after some time if doesn't pick up the call have been built around the core functionality.We believe the model is as such it can incorporate new functionality and fine tune itself with the local situation which might uncover when we test this out in the upcoming few months. In that way we can seek out its more and more possible applications in different contexts and innovate continuously.

There exists a big information gap in the rural areas because of which the negative consequences are being suffered by the people. Based on our experiences of field work in the villages of Uttarakhand, India we noticed that the government appointed ASHA workers were not doing their work effectively as the households were scattered across the hills sue to which the expecting mothers and babies were at a loss and hence the IMR and MMR was high. Our service allows to send voice reminders automatically to the expecting mothers reminding them for the immnunization and other basic health check ups. The system can be easily customized to create voice call algorithms for any other service as well.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

Our solution is a cloud based voice call platform accessible over internet. System allows you to generate customizable voice algorithms for a particular user. Eg: Currently we have built an algorithm that a voice call in the local dialect will go from time to time to all the expecting and early mothers of an area reminding them checkups & vaccinations. Also the frontline health workers (ASHA in India) will also receive a weekly plan indicating all the beneficiaries she has to remind for the coming week.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

We want to reduce the negative effects on a women and her baby caused primarily due to this big information gap. The tool developed is scalable and can be used by any development organization (NGO/For Profit/Govt.) to disseminate information and reach out to end beneficiaries, customizable according to the given demography so that they are not deprived of the first hand information without which they have to face serious consequences. Our objective is to develop a people centric information tool which includes all the stakeholders, our current system involves ASHA (Indian frontline health workers) at the forefront so that they also take pride and do the work diligently.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

Our strength lies in the customizable feature – depending upon the demography, type of information broadcast. For eg: Our system can send in voice reminders to all the cancer patients in a community according to their respective schedules for chemotherapy sessions. At the same time it can be used to send voice reminders to all the females reminding them respectively to maintain hygiene/use pads during their menstrual days.

Quem são seus clientes?

Our target clients are start-ups, liveilihood promotion programmes, and grassroot NGOs who can mobilize the ASHA workers in their work area to collect the necessary data, and have significant mobile penetration in their work area. The end beneficiaries of this product would be expecting mothers and mothers whose children are less than 10 years of age, living in rural areas and have at least one mobile phone connection in their household.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Currently we are field testing the technical platform with an organization. We plan to do a Randomized control trial and prepare a Impact Assessment accordingly. With the impact assessment study we wish to reach out to the development organization using our alumni and college (IRMA) networks. It can be easily implemented under NRHM or any NRLM schemes of the Indian government.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Our primary activites include getting the exhaustive community data (Data surveying or our system allows to import data from any existing government or organization database). Once the data is fed in, the development organization can design an algorithm from a user friendly interface. Currently the system already has a built in algorithm to send vaccine reminders during both pre and post natal.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Our peers and competitors include all the existing organizations which are providing a similar voice based service. They might also start giving a platform which allows users to design customizable voice call algorithms. We don’t see any threat or problems even if the start a particular service because the end beneficiaries are the rural population served through the development organizations and there is no dearth of development organization who wants to serve the needy. We will always have the prime movers advantage in this regard.Our peers and competitors include all the existing organizations which are providing a similar voice based service. They might also start giving a platform which allows users to design customizable voice call algorithms.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

Currently we are assessing the needs and expectations of the deprived population with respect to the information gap in the health sector and accordingly updating our system with the parameters so that the system supports in future all type of information broadcast services in the future. Studying this is a problem and very time consuming as each rural setting is different from others and therefore we have a real tough time in designing and accommodating those variables accordingly. This is challenging but at the same time which gives us a lot of insights and opportunity to serve them according to their needs and expectations.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

As described above we will do some RCT trials and come up with an Impact Assessment study which will allow us to testify and will prove the robustness and functionality of the model. We plan to reach out to the development organizations working in Rural India in our network.

Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

As soon as we have an Impact assessment study ready we can reach out to the areas via development organizations. We will be looking at geographies which have a relatively high mobile penetration our sparsely populated where people find difficulty in communicating and hence are not able to reach out.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

Mobile Penetration in the geographical area, Impact Assessment study based on RCT (Randomized Control Trial) and Inclusion of all the stakeholders (Beneficiaries, Health workers, Development Organization)

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

In the short term (next 6 months) we plan to test the robustness of the model and create Impact assessment studies with different geographies and varied applications in Health. Using these we wish to reach out to maximum development organizations possible across India. Currently the system technically is almost built we plan to do the beta testing of the model during June-August (3 months). In the next three months (by Nov-december) we should be ready with our Impact assessment studies which testifies and proves the effectiveness of the service.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

We are currently at the final stages of finishing the product with its envisaged functionality. We are now looking to beta-test the product with a grass-root NGO operating in an area where health information dissemination is a significant impediment to development. Following the beta-test, we would have a much clearer idea about the potential impact, and how to refine the product to increase this potential.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

The end outcomes of this initiative is to lower the infant mortality rate(IMR) and maternal mortality rate(MMR). We aare aiming to target and eliminate the number of infant and maternal deaths that are attributable to low immunization rates and low awareness about health schemes.Thus, with the reasonable assumption that the reduction in IMR and MMR is, amongst many other factors, a function of immunization rates, we will use the increase in immunization rates as a medium-term quantifiable indicator of social impact. The second indicator would be the reduction in number of incidences of diseases that are normally preventable by immunizations. Third, the reduction in health expenditure over medium term is also a significant quantifiable indicator.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Yes. One of the reason why we wanted to develop a web-based dynamic and portable platform was to introduce scalability and flexibility in operations. One of the key features of the product is that voice alerts can be recorded in any local language or dialect. Second, given that it is a web-based platform, only to be operated from the implementing agency's computer, it doesn't require any heavy capital inputs for regional diversification. The interface allows the agency to operate the product in sync with its organisational structure. It is operable in any area, and only requires the end users, i.e. villagers, to possess mobile phones.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

Over the next 1-3 years, we hope to have tested the product, identified and removed the bugs and refined the functionality. We aim to engage and put the product to use through 8-12 NGOs, hoping to reach close to 3 million end beneficiaries, who will receive vaccination reminders, health related information, and alerts regarding government health schemes regularly. We hope that these alerts would increase immunization rates in the work areas by 15-20% over the next 3 years, and significantly reduce the number of diseases preventable by ante-natal and post-natal vaccinations, and also reduce the percentage of income spent on health.

Currently we need finances (seed fund) to develop our technical infrastructure completely and get technical person on board who maintains and constantly develops the system. The complete technical infrastructure will allow is to beta test the functionalities and modules completely. We will be also launching the SMS based reminder service in urban areas the revenue generated from the urban areas will be used for the voice call service in rural areas to cross subsidize it.

Once we receive a seed fund which would help us to develop the system completely and develop impact assessment studies, we wish to sell our service to the development organizations thereafter who would pay us the user development fee and annual maintenance cost. Our current cash flow indicates that as soon as we are able to sell our service to 10 development organizations this would bring approximately around $4000 to the firm.

Nome do seu projeto

“Terenfom”: agriculture microcredit for nutrition programs intended to pregnant/breastfeeding women and OVC in Haiti.

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

The idea is to invest in agriculture to address malnutrition issues and boost agriculture sector at the same time via public-private partnerships (PPP) between small size farms, the Ministry of Health (MOH), NGOs and the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA).

Microcredit will be offered to farmers who could invest to produce specific local food products and in return they will be obliged to supply a proportion of their production to associated health facilities for the nutrition programs already implemented and intended to pregnant/breastfeeding women and OVC (Orphans and Vulnerable Children). The farmers will also need to reimburse the funds as per microcredits programs.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

There are several nutrition programs in Haiti mainly funded by World Food Program (WFP) . Due to the current malnutrition and poverty situation, it is very likely that those programs will run for many years ahead. Nevertheless, currently there is no integrated agro-health and microcredit programs combining efforts from the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) in Haiti to impact the agriculture industry and the health systems together. Suggesting a program involving the MOH and MOA via microcredit is a sustainable approach that could benefit two different sectors and reduce the dependence to international funds.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

MSH is a renowned organization in Haiti which was able to develop strong relationships with the different stakeholders and the community. Since MSH is directly supporting health facilities handled by NGOs or MOH, MSH’role is also to advocate for public health change policy with strong data evidence to the MOH and other major stakeholders via SDSH and another project of MSH called LMG (Leadership, Management and Governance). Owing to this expertise, MSH teams will be able to implement a new program including a new Minister, the MOA, to ensure the success of Terenfom. Due to the serious economic and sanitary situation, the country will get important funds from international organizations for many years ahead. Funding will not represent the major challenge for the success of this project.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

This project is innovative in itself by its new PPP strategy combining microcredit and two different ministries. Though it is very hard to implement new projects in Haiti due to the very complex situation, the abundance of stakeholders and high influence of politics, it is also very important to remain flexible and be able to adjust to the field situation and any possible changes, such as potential natural disasters or politic instability. MSH is present in Haiti for 26 years and has a strong expertise in public health project management in Haiti. The MSH team has developed a high flexibility ensuring the success of the innovative project Terenfom.

Haiti suffers from an extreme poverty that highly impacts the population health. According to UNICEF, the percentage of population below international poverty line of USD 1.25 per day is 55%, the half is illiterate, less than 7% of GDP is invested in health and the Global Hunger index for 2012 was 30.8 (“extremely alarming”). According to the WFP, 6.7 million people are food insecure with the half of the food coming from imports. WFP data reports that 23.4% of children suffer from chronic malnutrition. This project aims to use differently funds currently allocated to agriculture and nutrition programs. By investing in agriculture via microcredits to produce food products for malnourished people, this project could bring a sustainable solution to agriculture and health.

The project is based on 2 pillows:
-Microcredit offered to farmers: microcredit will be offered to farmers to help them start their production.The farmer will need to reimburse this credit like any other microcredit programs in order to enable the sustainability of the project.
- Agreement between the farmers and associated health facilities: the farmer will be obliged to dedicate a percentage of his production to the associated health facilities for its nutrition program.
A pilot study needs to be done during a period of one year for products such as rice, beans, corn, oil, sugar and banana. The second year, the farmers will increase its production. The third year, the farmer will diversify its production and/or produce transformed products such as corn cans, beans cans or banana chips

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

Our vision is to address malnutrition affecting vulnerable population in Haiti by boosting the agriculture sector which will be eventually also profitable to the national economy. The overall objectives are to bring sustainable solutions to Haiti for agriculture and malnutrition.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

Our value proposition is to use already available funds in an innovative way to promote local economy and address health issues.

Quem são seus clientes?

There are two categories of customers (beneficiaries): the farmers and the targeted population for nutrition programs which include pregnant/breastfeeding women and OVC.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

The project will reach the customers via already existing stakeholders: the ones working with the farmers for the agriculture part and the ones in health facilities for the nutrition part.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Our current organization MSH is supporting 164 health facilities throughout the country to offer high quality health services to 40% of the Haitian population via the project SDSH (Santé pour le Développement et la Stabilité d’Haïti). Our technical support includes data management strengthening, capacity building, expansion of health services, quality services strengthening, etc.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

There are other organizations playing similar roles in Haiti but their network is less widespread geographically than the SDSH project of MSH. SDSH supported facilities are mainly located in very remote areas unlike many of the sites supported by other competitors. The LMG project of MSH is directly supporting MOH which brings a specific privileged position to MSH compared to other organizations. Indeed, MSH is the only organization handling 2 big projects combining direct health facilities support (SDSH project) and MOH strengthening (LMG).

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

The Haiti context is very influenced by politics. The MSH expertise should be able to overcome the possible conflicts.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

It is first necessary to implement a pilot study over a period of one year. Based on the results, a specific work plan will be defined for the years hereafter.

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

As parteiras tradicionais sempre existiram ciclicamente dependendo do período da civilização. Nas ultimas décadas, a tecnologia cientifica avançou a passos largos apresentando-se como moderna propondo uma qualidade de vida excepcional em todos os sentidos. A maioria acreditou e seguiram em marcha consumindo, assimilando, absorvendo, abandonando valores e princípios incorporando novos conceitos e novo paradigma.
Alguma gerações após, os índices e dados epidemiológicos acusam a violência generalizada, ressurgimento de epidemias erradicadas, a qualidade de vida é mais precária, a educação perdeu o poder de educar, os partos estão encarcerados nos hospitais desumanizados, as pessoas nascem prisioneiras do sistema controlador burocrático.
As parteiras tradicionais seguem cumprindo sua missão de atender as mulheres gestantes que as procuram apesar das perseguições, proibições e ameaças. Comenta-se que as parteiras estão em extinção, como os animais raros. Essas pessoas esperam ver as mesmas parteiras tradicionais antigas mantendo as mesmas características; velhinhas, pobres, nativas de algum lugar isolado distante da cidade zona rural, litoral afastado, sertões, montanhas. Com o avanço da comunicação a maioria absoluta vê televisão, usa telefone e tem mais opções de transporte. É natural que as parteiras tradicionais contemporâneas estejam integrando-se a novos conhecimentos requalificando a prática preservando a tradição e a cultura de cada lugar porque os novos conhecimentos e ferramentas modernas não substituem nem supera o saber ancestral e a prática milenar.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Facilitar a formação de aprendizes de parteiras na tradição é oferecer a humanidade maior capacidade de atendimento à mulheres e homens que buscam a atenção e cuidados metafísico que estabeleça a conexão do antigo com o moderno, da ciência com a tradição. Formar aprendizes de parteira tradicional de diferentes lugares, países, funções sociais e idades reafirma a importância da universalidade dos saberes e da informação, é um princípio de paz.
Com base neste argumento criamos a Escola Parteira Suely Carvalho.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

O lugar é a Escola mas não é um espaço físico, a concepção não segue o modelo vigente de órgãos formadores por isso não chamamos de curso nomeamos de Instrução. A Escola não forma parteiras mas forma Aprendizes de parteira na tradição porque entendemos que é uma formação um aprendizado que tem começo mas não tem fim, não temos parteira tradicional formada, temos a mais antiga e mais experiente mais sábia e a que está na Instrução sendo iniciadas.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

A pedagogia utilizada é a Oralidade seguindo a tradição ancestral o saber é repassado oralmente e na prática. Não utilizamos apostilas ou livros, indicamos algumas leituras desde que não seja técnico científico acadêmico.
Nos cursos de enfermagem medicina e outros das universidades tem livros que define e ensina a mesma técnica, em qualquer lugar do mundo é universal. Na formação de parteira tradicional é diferente, não temos livros sobre a teoria e a prática e se tivéssemos não poderia ser universal visto que atuamos com técnicas naturais de avaliação diagnóstico terapias e medicina das plantas rezas e rituais e incorporamos nossa cultura. Como poderia um livro ensinar práticas de rituais plantas do ocidente para o oriente por exemplo?

NCF Philippines: Collaborative Journey Towards Comprehensive Cleft Care

The Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines, Inc. or NCFPI is a non-profit organization dedicated to make excellent and comprehensive cleft and craniofacial treatment and care accessible to Filipinos especially the indigents by establishing sustainable world-class craniofacial centers in the Philippines operated by a team of empowered Filipino professionals.

Queremos saber mais sobre seu momento “A-ha!”. Compartilhe a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(es) viu(viram) o potencial desta solução para transformar o mundo.

The Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines, Inc. (NCFPI) was inspired by Dr. Samuel Noordhoff, mentor of Dr. Glenda de Villa who had a scholarship at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan from 2001 to 2002. In 2003, she formed a craniofacial team in Our Lady of Peace Hospital in the Philippines and since then, NCFPI has treated more than 2,000 indigent cleft and craniofacial patients.

Nome do seu projeto

NCF Philippines: Collaborative Journey Towards Comprehensive Cleft Care

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

(A) NCF Philippines’ journeys towards comprehensive cleft care follows a collaboration framework that links 1)the Outcomes with its 2) Core Values/Foundation. In between the two are 3) the Contextual Factors unique to realize NCFPI's vision. The framework is grounded in 4) Multi-disciplinary Cooperation. (B) Most of the 3,500 to 4,000 cleft children born every year in the Philippines remain untreated due to lack of financial means and access to hospitals. The government could only attend to primary health care, hence cleft and craniofacial treatment are not easily available. NCFPI shares the vision of Dr. M. Samuel Noordhoff who believes that any child with cleft lip and palate deserves the best possible treatment regardless of the family’s financial condition. (C) From the outset, different professionals brought in their competences and became volunteers for Our Lady of Peace Craniofacial Center, NCFPI’s first craniofacial center which was started due to the help of founding partners—NCF in Taiwan and in U.S.A. ChangGung Memorial Hospital provides the needed training and continuing education for its volunteer doctors. (D) Grounded in diversity, the collaboration work among founding partners was sustained due to the steadfast commitment of all volunteers to the vision of quality and comprehensive cleft treatment be made accessible to all especially indigent patients. Volunteers of NCFPI believe that success in the team lies in 1) technical competence—commitment to competent work, ongoing education, and continuing care, and 2) respect and heartfelt concern for the patients.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

While there exist groups doing mission-type of cleft and craniofacial care, we opt to have one-stop-action centers where patients can be treated regularly. Continuing efforts then to look for funding for treatment and scholarship of volunteer professionals enable the vision for complete and quality cleft care for patients to be sustainable. These extend to find collaborators who will also address other ancillary needs of cleft and craniofacial patients beyond surgery: dental, orthodontic & prosthodontic, speech therapy, pediatric-genetic consult, and other social services for the patients including family support groups. We also endeavor through our networking to advocate the social acceptance of our patients. All activities including research and development are motivated by patient care.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

We identify six Process Factors that contribute to a successful collaborative work:
(1) Understanding the Beneficiaries. We constantly think on how to provide viable solutions to problems of patients in their treatment. We have the Smile Jeep Project so patients who are so poor can come to the center..
(2) Community Development. We engage other groups in the community to helpand keep good relations with them.
(3) Effective Leadership. NCF Philippines benefit from the inspiration and example of Dr. M. Samuel Noordhoff and has a working board which closely coordinates with its Executive Director.
(4) Communication. There is openness and clear communication within the team and the collaborators.
(5) Research and Evaluation. Research work is on-going among our service-programs.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

We recognize four Contextual Factors that would help us grow amidst challenges:
(1) Connectedness. To keep linkages with key collaborators who advocate the same vision as NCFPI so as to share best practices.
(2) History of Working Together & Teamwork among its partners and collaborators.
(3) Resources.To keep enhancing these four types of capital: environmental, in-kind, financial, and human. Environmental resource refers to the current environmental setting (in the hospital, community, or political climate) affecting the collaboration. We emphasize that human capital is the most important asset in the collaboration
(4) Keep Catalysts in View. Main catalysts for the collaboration are the craniofacial patients in the Philippines who lack quality care: they motivate us to innovate.

Por favor, descreva mais detalhadamente: qual problema você está tentando resolver no contexto específico da organização?

In our country, we are trying to change perception and attitudes towards cleft and craniofacial patients. Considering that they are not "urgent", care for them may be only scheduled periodically or during missions. Yet cleft and craniofacial patients need continuing comprehensive quality care. We also want that parents be pro-active and partners in the treatment of their children. As cleft and craniofacial cases are not mere mission cases: follow through at home and by the cleft team is very much needed. We envision that people could access care without restrictions of time or mere reliance on missions and educate people to work for this and not to depend on dole-outs. Patients and professionals will endeavor to help each other in a multidisciplinary care approach and not surgery only.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

Technology: We see this as having the right means and methods in patient care. Hence equipment and instrument have to be available. The Patient Medical Record System has to be computerized completely to make services efficient and research including appraisal of treatment protocols accurate. This will enable us to sustain and share best practices.
Education and Training of Volunteers and Staff will redound to better care and services for the patients. At the same time, it would be ideal to impart empowering ideas for our patients to make all cure and healing synchronized in the person. Investing to enhance the volunteers expertise, and keep their interest to give their time and energy will realize the shared vision and is essential for sustainable collaboration of partners.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

NCFPI envisions to make comprehensive and craniofacial care accessible to Filipinos by empowering Filipino professionals in the delivery of competent treatment that meets international standards for cleft lip, cleft palate, and craniofacial patients. With this, NCFPI aims to establish sustainable craniofacial centers in the Philippines led by teams of medical and allied medical specialists and professionals who are trained and equipped to provide world-class craniofacial services to Filipinos especially the indigents. This is done by strengthening all cleft programs of services and communicating the extension of their services to our target customers. This work has to be properly supported by effective administrative processes and internal organizational coherence.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

The motto of the foundation is "Love makes whole".  NCFPI commits itself to the following core values:
Heartfelt Concern: compassionate, holistic care given to its beneficiaries including advocacy for their social acceptance in society
Committed Teamwork: specialists are consistently available and dependable to resolve medical problems faced by patients
Comprehensive & Continuing Care: patients receive cleft care and treatment in a multi-disciplinary setting from birth till adulthood
Competent Practice: professional treatment that meets international standards including critical assessment of results through research.
Family-oriented Approach: involves the family especially the parents in the treatment process of their children
Camaraderie: promotes cheerful, positive, collaboratio

Quem são seus clientes?

Our customers are the cleft and craniofacial patients in the National Capital Region of the Philippines and all those who can come to us for treatement either for primary or secondary surgery and other ancillary care for cleft patients.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines, Inc. (NCFPI) calls for an Integrated Marketing Strategy (IMS) that weaves together plans and activities at the national, regional and community levels. The objective is to increase market base and penetrate through effective (i.e., in cost and method) means of communication.
1. Associations/Outreach: Includes conferences, sponsorships, various networks and groups, businesses. 2. Web Presence: Information and resources. 3. Earned (Free) Media Coverage generation & publicity through promotional efforts & good public relation. 4. Paid Media-Direct Advertising or thru an Ad Agency - if there is a sponsor. 5.Direct Mail - Print/Electronic include newsletter & other marketing collaterals. 6. Face-to-face meeting- Relationship Cultivation

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

We provide Primary and Secondary Cleft Surgeries, Cleft Orthognathic Surgery , Craniofacial Surgery and other Ancillary Services like Orthodontic treatment (Pre-operative naso-alveolar molding or NAM, Quadhelix, Braces), Alveolar bone grafting, Pediatric and Genetic medical consult, Pediatric and General Dentistry, Speech Therapy, Prosthodontic works, Mothers' Class and other Social Services for the patients and their family. We also have transportation and food subsidy for indigent patients including board and lodging linkages during treatment. All these are done by linkages with individuals or charitable groups willing to help cleft patients.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Peers and competitors are those do the same surgical treatment. If their work is not done well, we can repair the work they did but the expense will be greater and this is more costly in all aspects for the patients. The solution to comprehensive and complete care is not fostered as people think that treatment is only for primary sugery.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

On Resources. In a short span of time, NCFPI became more known and has more patients. It found itself in need of these four types of capital: environmental, in-kind, financial, and human. Environmental resource refers to the current environmental setting (in the hospital, community, or political climate) affecting the patients and the foundation.We emphasize that human capital is the most important asset in the collaboration. Personnel need more management training and systems in the organization have to be institutionalize. Need for more space and facilities was seen.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

(1) Real People Impacts: the actual number of more lives changed by the treatment.(2) Policy Development. Pursue cooperation with government in terms of instituting policies supportive of the collaborative efforts for cleft care(3) Systems Development. Services have expanded beyond primary surgery and the organization’s systems are developing.(4) Resource Development. Get more volunteers /donors

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Novo(s) grupo(s) de cliente(s), Nova(s) região(ões).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

We can say this is the case if the volunteer professionals could treat patients anytime. This means having dedicated venues of services that our solely ours and not shared with the hospital's other departments. Then, the presence of adequate volunteers to help patients and the readiness of the administrative staff to support the growth of patients cared/treated.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

1. We endeavor to treat 600 patients by 2013 where each surgeon can operate 150 per surgeon.
2. Increase in the Ancillary Services by:
a. Having a volunteer dentist and orthodontist daily
b. Having Speech Pathologists daily
3. To establish Well baby programs for malnourished/sick children
4. To have more personne & bigger facilities for the Administrative unit the foundation

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

Growth for one to two years: NCFPI Operating 2 craniofacial centers
Growth for three to five years: Expanding advocacy in the Philippines through linkages with new volunteers and expansion for additional 2 centers in Luzon.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

(1) Real People Impacts: more than 2000 patients treated in NCR for complete cleft care
(2) Systems Development. Patients’ medical records and photos integrating all aspects of treatment are now being computerized and stored electronically.
(3) Resource Development. New collaborations initiated increase in grants from other donors like Smile Train led to the establishment of the Smile Train Craniofacial Center, the first to offer comprehensive care to craniofacial patients in Manila

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

We monitor the number of operated patients and their improvement after each procedure of care has been provided. We are currently assessing results of treatment in surgery, orthodontics, dental, and speech therapy. Yet we still need to see and study how to quantify impact of our social work in society.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

We think that it could work in developing countries where the citizens are willing to study abroad yet go back to their country to start a craniofacial center. This happened with Taiwan when they got trained abroad, they developed their services in Taiwan. This happened as well to the NCFP scholars when they studied in Taiwan and used their knowledge to serve cleft patients in Manila.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

We endeavor to better serve more cleft patients and spear head a national drive for cleft care awareness. We would like that people associate the Noordhoff craniofacial team to such like a seal of good health care where what the best is for the patient is the reference for key decisions.

Financial strategy has to be an on-going efforts to optimize available funding solicited for treatment and matched it with the procedures done. We are looking to funding-syndication to cover increasing costs of surgery. We intend to get more funders yet be able to be more developing the financial capacity of the Foundation. This requires getting more personnel too for NCFP.

We will still depend on the main funder for cleft surgery. The marketing and relationship cultivation has to be sustained while doctors need to treat more patients. These two will greatly lead for a continuous donation flow for NCFPI. The private patient sector group will grow slowly but constantly as more people will get to know successful treament of many patients.

Maternova's disruptive business model

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Globally, an incredible 99% of maternal deaths occur in developing countries (WHO). Almost 300,000 women and 2 million infants die around the time of childbirth due to largely preventable causes. “An estimated 74 per cent of maternal deaths could be averted if all women had access to the interventions for preventing or treating pregnancy and birth complications, in particular emergency obstetric care” (UNFPA). Simple technologies and protocols save lives, and more are being developed -- specifically designed for and with low-resource settings as a target market—each year. Individual scientists and innovators often spend two or more years after clinical trials just searching for a commercialization partner, due to high barriers to innovation uptake in low-resource settings. Brilliant clinicians and procurement agents in LMIC are unaware of the existence of life-saving new technologies. What has been missing is an accessible, trusted online marketplace where these two parties can meet, purchase and test innovations and collaborate. Maternova was created to be this space. The group Women Deliver named Maternova ‘1 of the 50 best ideas for women’ globally in 2012.
Information about the existence of disruptive technologies and ready access to them are two barriers to delivery of innovations to those who need them most. An online e-commerce platform allows the inventors of technologies to skip over multiple hurdles and years of searching for a commercialization partner. We find the innovators, follow them and then become a commercialization partner to assist them.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Maternova is the only trusted source and aggregator for low-tech medical innovations dedicated to maternal, neonatal and child health. Our Innovation Index is the result of three full years of in depth research and planning. We go a step further and offer direct access to cutting edge technologies on the first e-commerce platform for maternal and newborn health technologies. And to complement the content and commerce, we promote collaboration online.

The selection process for our innovation index is a proprietary formula that considers sustainability, efficacy, cost effectiveness, global relevance and ability to scale quickly. Maternova combines the three critical 'C's' of: Content, Commerce, and Collaboration for our members to research, procure, test and review products in the field.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

We are a very nimble organization and able to adapt and adjust to meet market demands while focusing on the scientific and social impact and ROI our products deployed in the field have, We spend a great deal of time cultivating on-going long term relationships with clients. Our collaboration platform offer the opportunity to provide a social networking/clinical trial forum for people to work together in any number of ways. Whether it's focused on a specific technology, or sharing best practices, Maternova rapidly accelerates the dissemination of lifesaving information into the field - to save more lives.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

We have many great plans for the future. Because we are a platform for multiple innovations we always have the option to drop one product that isn't selling well or to replace it with something better/faster/cheaper that comes along. In addition our domain expertise in the field of maternal and newborn health puts us at the cutting edge of researching new technologies--in fact we have been published in major journals on the subject.

We learn as we go and we constantly reiterate. Our prototype for our first proprietary product, along with mobile capabilities will allow us to further engage end users in both commerce along with conversations. Maternova also has a keen interest in child health, and pharma ( select products) may be an option for our marketplace in the future.

Por favor, descreva mais detalhadamente: qual problema você está tentando resolver no contexto específico da organização?

Globally, 99% of maternal deaths occur in developing countries. Simple, life-saving technologies designed for low-resource settings are developed at an increasing pace, more affordably than ever before. Unfortunately, most of these technologies are slow to reach clinicians in the countries that need them most. A large proportion of infant and maternal mortality could be avoided if clinicians in developing countries knew about technologies that already exist and were able to access them. Maternova has built an online global marketplace to speed access to innovations once they have undergone pilots and regulatory clearance and to introduce them to clinicians, Ministries of Health, private hospitals and distributors. A single, constantly updated marketplace for innovations.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

Our solution cuts layers of red tape and speeds the distribution of life-saving innovations. With our e-commerce platform we make it easy for those supporting, planning and supplying health systems around the world to track cutting edge 'frugal innovation' and buy what they need online in customizable quantities. We have some inventory but drop ship from multiple locations around the globe.
Using online tutorials, sms-text based messaging systems and our online collaboration platform will bridge the gap from the point of information origin and the end-user. Our solution also harnesses the power of trusted social networks and encourages feedback on technologies from the end user, a core stage in commercialization that is missing in much of global health.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

We know that one robust, intuitive portal where stringently screened medical innovations can be discovered, procured, and incorporated into a health system's device eco-system can save lives and money. Medical solutions exist to solve maternal health issues, and more are developed every month. It is our mission to help commercialize these breakthroughs and expedite their use in the field, providing user groups, user feedback loops and thereby generating even more great ideas for saving lives. We can accomplish this using product + technology+ storytelling + social networks + education. Our platform creates a complete ecosystem for accomplishing this vision: empower health workers, deploy innovations and save more lives more quickly. We aim to impact 6 million lives by the end of 2015.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

Maternova's value proposition is to make saving the lives of our global mothers affordable, accessible, and effective by providing the first trusted source and e-commerce platform in the global health space. We accelerate the dissemination of innovation and demonstrate a substantial return on investment over traditional interventions. On average Maternova products yield $13 saved for every $1 spent.

Quem são seus clientes?

Our early adopters have been traveling clinicians and health care professionals and non-profit health care organizations providing direct care in the most remote areas of the world. Now we are seeing a surge in interest from Governments, Ministries of Health, larger hospitals and clinics. We are also now on the UN procurement supplier lists. The end user of most of our technologies are the health providers on the frontlines of global health care.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Traditionally Maternova has used grassroots guerilla marketing anchored by a strong social media presence. Word of mouth is a strong marketing tool for us as well--one clinician to another is the most powerful recommendation. We also do some inbound marketing along with modest Google Adwords. Our own blog is kept very fresh and current, which attracts viewers from 170 countries. We work with brokers who work with governments and also do a lot of dedicated research time seeking out opportunities for bidding.

As we grow, we will be able to send free product samples, present at trade shows and increase our search engine optimization online (in multiple languages). A major area of experimentation over the next year will be mobile marketing, especially in Rwanda and Tanzania.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Our primary activities focus on a) marketing and selling 'best in class' technologies to aid in childbirth; b) storytelling about entrepreneurs and end users of the technology c) researching and uncovering the most innovative medical innovations that are uncommercialized or in the early stages of research and development. We are now acting as a 'pull' mechanism with entrepreneurs coming directly to us because commercializing complementary products in one place makes so much sense.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Maternova currently doesn't have any direct competitors. Of course this could change, but our head start is considerable. We would most likely look to partner with any competition, or absorb them. There are some companies like Laerdal and WomanCare Global that could be seen as competitors but they sell complementary technologies. In general, most global health technology companies we see as potential suppliers for the marketplace.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

That's an easy question to answer. Our company is globally recognized, yet we are incredibly resource constrained. Our funding has been limited largely due to funders incorrectly believing we are not bootstrapped. We are in true dire need of working capital if we are going to continue what we have sacrificed years to build. We are actively working to obtain a line of credit against receivables.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

We have been able to establish several distribution contracts that are exclusive altogether or geographically exclusive. Moving forward, we plan to make that the prerequisite for our endorsement and showcase in our marketplace.
Additionally, we have developed a prototype for our first proprietary product.
Also, we have begun securing distribution partners and customs agents overseas.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Novo(s) grupo(s) de cliente(s), Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

We already have the global traction, and one solid year of sales and revenue generation with our number of customers and average size of orders growing. Our 'test' period for market viability has proven successful. We are registered with the FDA, and also registered as a vendor for procurement on the UN Global Marketplace. Our business model has been vetted and our assumptions have been proven.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

Maternova wants to be the first and best e-commerce platform, mobile purchasing hub and collaboration ecosystem for maternal health. We aim to move to 100 products sold into 100 countries through key partnerships. Using these strategies we will move to cash flow positive in 2014. Once we generate a profit, we can then invest in more technologies and invest in midwifery schools.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

We are experiencing rapid growth right now in Q2 of 2013. In the short term we need to secure a line of credit to allow us to respond to 2-3 major government tenders (very large volume orders). By 2014, we plan to have better translation services for all content on our website, along with our mobile presence being partially ramped up to generate revenue. Another major investment in our platform in early 2014 will build out more collaboration capability, engage more users and allow more creative marketing of new products. By 2015 we aim to have 500,000 registered users and be doing $5.2M in sales.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

The social impact of Maternova has been huge. We have impacted over 73,500 lives with our products to date. We have visitors from over 170 countries, have engaged over 85,000 users and helped commercialize over 25 products and get them to the most remote corners of the world including East Timor, Guatemala, Uganda, DRC, Tanzania, Palestine, Gaza, Honduras, Mali and Thailand.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

In some ways we use an easy formula: product * number of uses = people impacted. Our social impact model takes each product sold and deployed and estimates the number of end users impacted. We discount our calculations based upon a) whether the end user provided some evidence that the product was actually used and b) some discounted rates of misuse or non-use. We also use customer feedback and reports from the field.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Our solution can work globally and does. We are not constrained by geography. We would need to build out our translation capabilities. Our strongest presence has been in Uganda, Tanzania, and Haiti. However, we've sold successfully into 26 other countries.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

Our goal is to touch 6 million lives by 2015 and we are currently on track to do that. We will have 100 products in our marketplace. Our proprietary product will be fully commercialized.

Descreva sua estratégia financeira atual

Maternova started with a very small grant from the S.E.VEN fund and then a grant from the Macarthur Foundation. We then spent about a year in extreme bootstrapping mode, refining our business model and participating in two startup accelerators, the CHANGE Accelerator and the MassChallenge Accelerator out of Boston. Based upon our market research we expanded our projections and our scope--most importantly we expanded the range of products we sell.

We refined our financing strategy and fundraised for a seed round of equity financing which closed in 2012 and which included 3 small social investors. Our goal is to secure another 500k in funding either via investment or lines of credit against receivables. That working capital will allow us to get to scale much more quickly. Our current financial projections show us reaching cash flow positive in 2014.

Maternova is first and foremost an online distributor of medical technologies, devices and supplies. We carefully select a subset of products and develop relationships with entrepreneurs and suppliers. Maternova established favorable pricing terms with exclusive distribution rights in certain geographic territiories. Then we add in our own profit margin. Our collaboration platform can be sold on a subscription basis as a second revenue stream on top of the product revenue. We started by working with smaller NGO's, hospitals and clinics but we are now targeting much larger groups as well. Maternova is also gaining traction with government tenders. Currently we are the finalist (trial currently underway) for a statewide program in India.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to be as giving as we would like to be. We do, however, donate products to select groups when asked. In the future, I'd love to create overseas opportunities for women who would like to run microfranchises. There are many protocols and products that can be created using locally sourced materials (infant warming is one). We'd love to help lift women out of poverty and impact communities.

Fale mais sobre os itens selecionados; explique como você vai manter o financiamento.

Maternova plans to have 100 products available in our marketplace. We'll provide an easier alternative for procurement officers seeking to build out their maternal and newborn health programs. Our current projections show us as reaching cash flow positive in 2014. We already have several hundred customers and our orders are growing in both number and average size of order.

Our proprietary product(s) will also be generating revenue.

Mother Bles Birthing Clinic (MBBC)

Mother Bles Birthing Clinics (MBBCs) are networks of PhilHealth accredited birthing health facilities which started in the Leyte Province, and are now fast-spreading in the Philippine Archipelago. The program aims to provide poor pregnant women with accessible and affordable maternal and infant health care services.

INOVAÇÃO

Nome do seu projeto

Mother Bles Birthing Clinic (MBBC)

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Being in a third world country of 92 million populace, serving an affordable, accessible, and quality, prepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum care remain to be a very big challenge.

Thus, to bridge this gap, and so to continually respond to Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5, which are to reduce child mortality and improve maternal health respectively, the MBBCs’ prototype of establishment, operationalization, and sustainability under the context of PPP is the answered innovation. Specifically, this is to increase the number of health facilities and make them accessible to the indigent mothers, and so increasing facility based deliveries.

MBBCs are networks of PhilHealth-accredited birthing facility, which started in the province of Leyte, and are now fast-spreading in the Philippine Archipelago. MBBCs apply an apolitical and profit-oriented approach to provide maternal health services under a PPP model. It requires no or little government funding as it utilizes currently under-utilized government's Rural Health Units (RHUs) and Barangay Health Stations (BHSs), such that minimizing costs for the use of local materials, skills, and resources.

At present, the organization is capitalizing on paying the PhilHealth (social health insurance) premiums of poor mothers that are not covered by the local and national government, so as to assist them for the cost of their maternal and infant health services upon their pregnancy and delivery.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Compared to other profit-generating entities offering maternal and infant care, MBBC is a unique innovation because it is run as a business entity while providing social services to the people.

In this approach, MBBC harnesses the comparative advantages of the following sectors through PPP: KaKaK Foundation Inc., private practicing midwives, the local capacity of municipal and provincial governments and other government agencies.

More so, unlike other non-income generating organizations delivering the same services, MBBC sustains its own and is not fully dependent on the donations, sponsorships, and dole outs from the government and non-government organizations.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

With MBBC utilizing the PPP model, the collaborative approach of involving public institutions/ organizations with the causes of private partners makes it a successful, feasible, and sustainable innovation.

The structured approach bound under the “contract-add-operate” modality stipulated on the Memorandum of Agreements between partners is being used to greatly establish the roles of each partner, thus clearly establishing points of authorities, responsibilities, and accountabilities.

Furthermore, being anchored under the principal administration of a private entity, which is the KaKaK Foundation, the initiative is being freed and or delineated from any unnecessary political intentions.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

Internal check and balances through monthly accomplishment reporting are being done so as to assess and evaluate the performance of each facility, and so detecting possible threats existing or potentially arising within the system. Accreditation from the PhilHealth also assures that the facilities are of good quality and standard.

Furthermore, the continuing education and trainings being participated by the MBBC staff also keep them up to beat regarding the new trends, updates, and innovations that can be applied in the MBBC system so as to continually improve and assure its growth as a health service delivering facility.

With a maternal mortality rate of 162 out of 100,000 live births and an infant mortality of 25 per 1,000 live births, the Philippines has a long way to go on meeting the 2015 Millennium Development Goals.

Using the collaborative PPP model, MBBCs gear towards the betterment of the status of maternal and infant health in the country. It also aims to lessen the congestion of pregnant patients on hospitals and decrease, or eventually stop, the practice of home-based deliveries.

On the same context, being able to deliver on a decent and quality facility, the women are being empowered as their human dignity is preserved.

Being strategically located on areas needing complementary aid/ support, MBBC networks countrywide provide accessible, affordable, quality, and safe facilities for maternal and infant health services

Through the prioritization of those economically constrained clients sponsored by various insurances or government programs, more MBBCs’ income can be generated to support the facilities’ operation and to build more facilities.

The PPP model of the MBBC is also a good way to increase awareness of both the private and public sector regarding the existing problems in maternal and infant care, and so soliciting more support for its improvement and sociopolitical responses.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

Vision: An ideal facility for quality maternal health care service that is committed to respect and promote the legitimate rights of every mother.

Mission: It shall provide accessible, affordable, and quality health service for mothers during pregnancy, delivery, and as well as post natal care.

Philosophies:
“That in all things, GOD may be glorified.”
“Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother.”

General Objective:
To provide accessible and affordable maternal and infant health care services to the poor through the establishment of a network of birthing clinics.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

MBBCs serve as socially-oriented institutions providing holistic and quality maternal and infant health care services. The facilities serve as supports and front liners to prevent the build-up of patients in existing local hospitals, government and private, in the delivery of maternal and infant health care service.

Thus, with the assured quality of service, the maternal and infant mortality rate can be controlled to meet the MDGs set targets and each mother and child will be aptly treated, and so making them a possible asset for the betterment of the society’s human resource.

Quem são seus clientes?

Being a pro-poor targeting organization, MBBC caters and prioritizes the poorest among the poor pregnant mothers and their infants who are most vulnerable to maternal and infant deaths due to the possibility of unsafe home deliveries.

The male partners of the mothers, their families, and significant others are also considered as clients as there are regarded to play a very vital part in the whole pregnancy and delivery experience.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Primarily adapting a community-based approach, to easily reach their target clienteles, the MBBCs are strategically located in densely populated poor areas, with high maternal and infant mortality incidences, and with other four to five adjacent barangays that could possibly be service recipients.

Aside from various advertisements and promotion activities such as IEC materials distribution by the MBBC staff, the commissioned midwives also coordinate with the barangay’s Community Health Teams to track all the pregnant mothers in the community, and refer them accordingly to the clinics. Field works are being done by the MBBC staff.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Implementing a holistic program, the key implementation steps for MBBC establishment involve: barangay selection with high maternal mortality rate; appraisal and clinic renovation; consultation and negotiation with local government unit; manning and training of midwives; licensing and accreditation under Philhealth; operation and supervision by KaKaK.

With 24-hours, 7 days a week available services, MBBC offers: prenatal care; nutrition and family planning; newborn care and screening; care for malnourished mothers and children; PhilHealth enrollment assistance; postnatal care; guidance counselling and catechism; live birth registration; free marriage validation for unwed couples; and free baptismal assistance for infants.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

At MBBC, the considered allies are the volunteers, professional, individuals, organizations, and community people, particularly the members of the Community Health Teams, and referral institutions interested and involved on increasing the health care service for the mother and infant and in support and in complement of the operations of the facilities.

On the other hand, MBBCs see other non-government organizations (NGOs) applying the same or nearly the same program as a threat only on the manner of financial sponsorship and or competition on the possible funding sources, as other birthing clinics are connected to and funded by foreign organizations.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

Situated on densely populated areas, one of the recurrent problems that the implementers are encountering is the place where the facility will be built. Thus, in the Memorandum of Agreement, one of the set responsibilities of the local government unit is to find for an available lot for the facility.

Also, in a deliberately growing health service delivery network, lack of manpower becomes a problem. Thus, scholarships, particularly for the midwives to-be, are being supported by the surplus funds of the MBBCs. Furthermore, volunteerism, affiliations, and more employment are also to be implemented so as to supplement this lacking.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

All the revenues of the MBBCs shall be directed to support the operations, improvement, and establishment of more facilities. More so, the organization shall use various media so as to flaunt the success of the innovation to inspire other stakeholders to support the drives and causes of the advocacy.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Novo(s) grupo(s) de cliente(s), Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

With the successful implementation of MBBC in the province of Leyte, and along with the fact that this innovation is deliberately spreading up to the different places in the Philippines prove that is more ready for growth in terms of operationalization.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

The MBBCs’ key growth objectives are as follows:

• Establishment of partnerships to pharmaceutical companies and laboratory equipment providers.
• Augmentation of MBBC staff, particularly designating a resident physician per facility.
• Engagement on researches for the tracking and evaluation of all MBBC facilities and services.
• Establishment of more MBBCs in the country.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

In three-six months, MBBC will invest on staff development, capacity building, and trainings to develop their personnel more on the field of recording and reporting, research, and community immersion. MBBC will also commence the coordination to the DOH for its Doctors to the Barrio (DTTB) Program for aiding them on the need of physicians.

In a year, partnerships to various pharmaceutical companies and laboratory equipment providers shall be established to be able to expand the services of the MBBC facilities.

True enough, in the course of time, more MBBCs shall be opened in the country, or in other countries, with the same PPP model.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

The main goal of MBBC is for the poor families to have access to affordable, quality, and safe maternal and infant health services, from prepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum preparations and interventions.

On that context, this boils down to the statistics that upon the entry of MBBC in a particular area, a considerable improvement in their maternal and infant care and vital health figures are being consistently noted.

Furthermore, because of the increase in sponsorships and social health insurance coverage, the out-of pocket payments of the patients continually decline as well.

Aside from the increase in number of clinics, improvement on service delivery, such as Newborn Screening Test installations are also being facilitated and implemented to almost all the MBBCs in the country. And as proof of clients’ behaviour change, 95% of the mothers undergo the ideal four prenatal visits prior to delivery.

The success of the PPP model of MBBCs shall enable other advocacy implementers to adapt the said modality without any form of complexity.

Thus, with the realization of all these efforts that MBBCs and partners put into this cause, no mother or infant shall die needlessly because of childbirth, particularly because of expensive and inaccessible maternal and infant health services.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

Generally, the success of this innovation can be fathomed in quantity and quality through the increase in total number of clients and facilities established.

Through the years, MBBCs services expanded from 1 province to now 11 provinces with 58 clinics countrywide in the Philippines. The figures show 21% (12 facilitates), 41% (24 facilities), and 38% (22 facilities) MBBC establishment from 2010 to 2012 respectively. Presently, 122 personnel and volunteers are employed and trained to support its operations.

Upon its establishment on 2010-up to February of 2013, their service deliveries continually increase with a cumulative figures of 15,327 prenatal visits, 3,832 facility-based deliveries, and 228 referrals since then.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Presently, MBBCs are already operating in several regions, provinces, and municipalities in the Philippines. On the context of experience and inferential analysis, this innovative model can work in any geography and or locale as long as the health partners in that particular milieu are very much willing to support the causes of MBBCs.

Hence, still, the prioritization of the establishment of the facilities shall still be dependent on the maternal and infant mortality cases, needs of the community, population density, and though apolitical in nature, political will for its implementation, operationalization, and sustainability.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

In the next three years, with the increase on number of clinics, facility-based deliveries shall also escalate, and lesser home deliveries shall occur. On this circumstance, improvements in health care shall be demonstrated through the figures of improved maternal and infant mortality.

More MBBCs in the country shall be established upon the awareness of health partners on the success of this model’s implementation, and so encouraging replication in their locales.

This will reduce the unhealthy practices on pregnancy and delivery, and so ensuring the health of women and babies, thus creating healthier families, communities, and countries at large.

SUSTENTABILIDADE

Descreva sua estratégia financeira atual

The operations of the MBBCs are primarily financed by their respective revenues from their health services, particularly mostly from the PhilHealth payments (national and local government insurance) of their patients, and some out-of-pocket and in-kind payments. To further lessen the out-of-pocket payments, KaKaK Foundation started to pay the PhilHealth Premiums of poor mothers not enrolled by the national and local government.

Hence, on a positive note, through the years, the initiative has become financially viable due to the increase in the membership of PhilHealth and Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWDs) 4Ps Program Sponsorship, and increase in the patronage of the municipal, provincial, and national governments.

The cost of the establishment of facilities is minimized, because KaKaK Foundation taps and refurbishes, if available, the existing local resources materials, and skills in the targeted area, particularly their Rural Health Units and Barangay Health Stations. Also, the salary expenses of the staff, particularly the midwives are performance-based which makes it more justifiable and maintainable expense.

On the aforementioned aspects, the midwives and the assigned staff of the MBBCs facilitate and supervise the financial and economic matters.

The non-philanthropic revenues, consisting of 95% of the total income of MBBCs, are mostly dependent from the service payments of their clients. 75% of MBBCs' total income comes from the PhilHealth indigent members and or to those patients currently enrolled under the Department of Social Welfare and Development's (DSWD) Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps Program), Thus, they are availing the Maternal Care Packages (MCPs) of the social health insurance and or the program respectively.

On the other note, the remaining 15% is from out-of-pocket payments, either non-PhilHealth or paying clients, and the remaining 10% is from in-kind payments, where the clients are remunerating certain amount considering their socioeconomic capabilities.

Explique sua abordagem filantrópica mais detalhadamente

For non-sponsored poor clients, any recompense (whether in monetary or donations in kind) that they could afford is being accepted as service compensation.

With the surplus revenues of MBBCs, as determined by KaKaK Foundation, the premiums of the selected mothers on the lower economic strata are being paid so as to make them viable for insurances’ claims.

More so, other surplus funds of the MBBCs are being realigned for the following causes: midwifery scholarships under the “study now, pay-later” scheme or service contracts; construction of public school buildings (Mother Bles Learning Centers) ; and improvement of Information Technology Equipment of selected recipient schools.

Fale mais sobre os itens selecionados; explique como você vai manter o financiamento.

MBBCs shall embark on enrolling poor mothers not covered by the government or self-insurance. The facilities can actually be revenue centers, through the universal PhilHealth coverage program.

In this regard, the finances of the MBBCs in the coming years will largely be from the insurance or program claims, revenues from out-of pocket payments, and outsource sponsorships (government and non-government agencies) and grants.

As proven thru the existing MBBCs, this business model is very sustainable on the aspect that all the revenues of the facilities go for its maintenance, operations, and improvement per se.

Queremos saber mais sobre seu momento “A-ha!”. Compartilhe a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(es) viu(viram) o potencial desta solução para transformar o mundo.

Chase Adam was sitting on a bus in Costa Rica while serving in the Peace Corps. A woman entered the bus with a red folder; he immediately thought she was selling something. By the time she reached him on the back of the bus her bag was full of money. Chase then looked at the folder and realized she was asking for money to pay for her son's medical care. It was then the idea for Watsi was born.

Nome do seu projeto

Watsi | fund low-cost, high-impact treatments for people in need.

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

The innovation in Watsi's case is applying a proven model of crowdfunding into an area of dire need of change, non-profit healthcare. Non-profits have long been held back by inefficient operations and an unwillingness to change. The crowdfunding model applied by Watsi isn't new; both Kiva and Kickstarter have made waves in the non-profit and for-profit spaces. However, Watsi is tapping into the characteristics of giving that are most effective - a personal, direct, and tangible connection to your charitable gift.
Along with an enjoyable giving experience, Watsi assures each donor that 100% of their gift goes directly to funding the medical treatment of the patient of their choice. In fact, Watsi even goes to great length to gain the trust of its donors by providing a public transparency document that includes all of its profile and transaction details. Watsi's innovative approach to providing life-changing medical care is poised to shift the way in which healthcare non-profits work entirely.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Watsi is the first global crowdfunding platform for medical treatments. Whereas most non-profit healthcare organizations solicit donations for an anonymous group of beneficiaries by way of a general fund, Watsi directly connects patients and donors, making the giving experience more direct, personal and tangible than ever before.
However, funding treatments for people in need is only half of our mission. Enabling individual patients to tell their stories to the world is the most magical and innovative element of the Watsi approach. We hope that by continuing to give patients a voice, we will foster a sense of connection that transcends national, social, and financial boarders, and makes the world a more familiar, open, and equitable place for all.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

Watsi employs three major organizational values that have led to its success thus far: technology, efficiency, and transparency. As Watsi continues to scale operations it will build back-end systems to allow Medical Partners to more effectively exchange information on patient profiles, and allow Watsi staff to automate traditional internal processes, such as, accounting, funds disbursements, and patient updates. By doing so, Watsi will utilize technology to become a more efficient organization.
Transparency will always be a core value. Watsi prides itself on providing as much public information on our operations as possible. Currently, Watsi shares links to screenshots of all patient profile transfers, organizational metrics and financials statements straight out of Quickbooks.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

A major external challenge is increased demand for profiles. As Watsi has seen growth, due diligence and manual data entry for profile information have become time consuming for staff. Watsi sees technology as the key to solving these hurdles in scalability.
Providing additional technology services to our Medical Partners, beyond fundraising for their patients, such as remote healthcare consulting for Doctors, remote care for patients, and cloud-based medical records, Watsi will enable the exchange of profile data and due diligence to become more streamlined, Also, these technology-based services will be implemented internally, allowing our staff to rely less on time consuming data entry, and more on how we can continue to innovate as an organization.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

Watsi connects you with patients in serious need of low-cost medical care and enables you to fund high-impact treatments. With Watsi you can donate as little as $5 to directly fund life-changing medical care for people in need.

We believe non-profits should be impactful, innovative, efficient, and transparent, and we built Watsi on these principles. Watsi is a community, not just an organization. We are young, dynamic, and serious about using technology to connect people and change lives.

We invite you to join us and change the world, one treatment, one person, and one life at a time.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

Watsi's vision is global access to basic healthcare. In doing so, Watsi hopes to enable medical care for a million people worldwide.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

In a world where one billion people cannot afford vital healthcare treatments, Watsi is the first peer-to-peer organization that focuses exclusively on healthcare financing in developing countries. Through utilizing a unique online donation platform, Watsi donors can connect with underserved patients from around the globe and directly fund life-changing medical treatments in a way that has never been done before.

Quem são seus clientes?

Watsi targets users that are socially-minded, interested in online innovation, and looking for a direct way to make a positive impact in the world. Watsi donors care about making the world a better place, but also want to understand how their actions are having a meaningful impact. Most importantly, they are tired of the traditional non-profit models and look for something innovative, impactful, and transparent.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

We leverage the internet and the power of social networking to make it easy for people to support patients from around the world that are in need of medical care. The most direct way for people to support a patient is to make a donation towards their treatment on Watsi.org. However, we also make it fun and easy for people to engage in other ways, such as by sharing patient profiles via social media, submitting stories to our blog, and by volunteering with Watsi. Currently, Watsi is active on Facebook and Twitter, and has seen traction from specific blog posts created to update our audience about important campaigns.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

The Watsi process has five simple steps:
1. Upload: Medical Partners upload profiles of underserved individuals in need of serious medical care.
2. Connect: Donors browse profiles on Watsi.org and connect with a person who they would like to support.
3. Fund: Donors give to fund a life-changing medical treatment for the patient of their choice.
4. Transfer: 100% of the contribution made by the donor is sent directly to the Medical Partner to provide the patient the specified treatment.
5. Update: After the treatment is provided, donors receive a personal update about the outcome of the treatment.
Aside from the medical partner-facing work, our team spends its time on institutional fundraising, marketing, and web development efforts.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

There exist a number of online platforms that successfully utilize a charitable peer-to-peer model. There are also online platforms, such as giveforward.com, that successfully facilitate fundraising for medical care. While online fundraising for medical care and the peer-to-peer model are both proven concepts, no organization has combined the two to enable donors to directly fund medical treatments for underserved populations in developing countries. However, there are also many very impactful non-profit organizations that provide a pleasurable donating experience such as Kiva, Vittana, charity: water, and donorschoose. Currently, these organizations have years of experience, developed resources, and recurring funding streams that an organization at our stage of development does not have.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

Our primary challenge is managing growth. Since our launch in August of 2012, Watsi has seen 30% week over week growth. These are great numbers, but without an influx of capital to scale operations fast, momentum will slow. A challenge as a non-profit is being able to raise capital effectively with few resources. As the non-profit fundraising arena is competitive, we will need to acquire some of this scarce capital on an ongoing basis.
Another challenge is around creating the internal systems in place to foster sustainable growth. We are in the process of creating a Board of Directors, which will greatly increase the level of governance of our organization and ensure that we have top talent advising and making decisions on the direction of the organization.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

Going forward, Watsi plans to raise a large philanthropic round of capital to: hire necessary staff to add site features, strengthen our Medical Partnership network, and promote Watsi's brand worldwide. Watsi also will focus on creating the internal systems to foster scalability in a sustainable way, developing strong Board governance, and building new web products that attract and maintain users.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

Since our launch in late August of 2012, we have processed $200,000 in donations, funding medical care for 250 patients in 13 countries. In the process we have seen donations increase 30% every week. With this amount of success over our first six months of operations, Watsi needs operational funding to expand operations.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

To raise a million USD over the next two years that wil allow us to properly scale to provide medical care for a million people in need.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

In the next year we project a million USD donated on Watsi's site serving 2,000 patients abroad. To be able to accomplish our goal, we need to hire a few more employees to scale operations in the short-term. During this process we also hope to expand our Medical Partner network to provide care in more needed areas worldwide.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

As a non-profit organization that guarantees that 100% of donations go directly to financing life-changing healthcare treatments, Watsi’s social impact is clear. If people at the base of the pyramid gain access to healthcare, they will live healthier and happier lives and become stronger contributing members of society.
Outputs include: Families with more productive members, More people able to join the workforce, Increased disposible income, Healthy, working parents will earn money to send children to school.
Outcomes include: Higher awareness of healthcare financing gap in developing world, Less lives devastated due to treatable illnesses, Competitive incentives for local institutions to cater to healthcare needs of the poor.

Looking at social impact vs overhead, we have raised over $200,000 for 250 patients in about 7 months while spending about $71,000 on operations. Even in the nascent stages of our organization, the Social ROI is $2.80 gained in treatment funding for every $1.00 spent on operations; almost a 3:1 ratio.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

Watsi will maintain a Metrics section in the transparency document in which key metrics will be automatically updated and aggregated, greatly aligning to our value of transparency. These metrics will help communicate our social impact to donors and will be used to drive internal decision-making. Such metrics will include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Total number of lives impacted to date
• Total donations made (# and $)
• Percentage of women treated
• Types of medical treatments
• Countries served
• Number of Medical Partners
• Number of donors
• Percentage of patients under the age of 18

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Watsi has been successful throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America. Current areas in which Watsi does not operate include North America and Europe. While many nations in this region do not currently fit our model, there are still opportunities to expand and test our solution in countries in impoverished areas in Eastern Europe and Mexico.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

As one billion people cannot afford basic healthcare, the demand for high impact medical treatments in developing countries is enormous. In addition, the global health organizations with whom we partner do not have the capacity nor the funds to support this demand. If Watsi is able to secure the funding needed in order to build the platform to sustain high levels of traffic, we project an ability to reach over one hundred thousand patients over the next three years and a total of 1 million patients over the next 5 years.

SUSTENTABILIDADE

Descreva sua estratégia financeira atual

Watsi separates its operational funds from its mission funds. Mission funds are collected on the site and earmarked specifically for their intended profile. 100% of the funds intended for each profile are collected on the site. The, once we receive an update of care, we transfer the entire balance of the profile to our Medical Partner. Operationally, Watsi currently relies on grants, private contributions, and cause marketing to pay our salaries, hosting fees, travel, and other core operational expenses. In the first few years of operations, Watsi plans to raise the majority of its operational funding through grants and private contributors. However, Watsi plans to become financially sustainable through operational tips (in addition to the donation amount processed on the site), cause marking partnerships, and product licensing of our platform.

Estratégias de filantropia que você usa

Estratégia única.

Explique sua abordagem filantrópica mais detalhadamente

Watsi's philanthropic approach is to post profiles of low-cost, high-impact medical treatments for underserved populations abroad. Once a profile is fully funded and treatment has been given, Watsi will send 100% of the funds collected for the profile to the Medical Partner. Donors will receive an update on the treatment, thus creating a cycle in which donors enjoy their experience so much that they come back to donate again. We believe that Watsi's core values of impact, innovation, efficiency, and transparency set it apart from other non-profits.

Fale mais sobre os itens selecionados; explique como você vai manter o financiamento.

As previously noted, 100% of donations directly fund treatments on Watsi's site. Despite our model, Watsi seeks to become financially sustainability by year three of operations. We plan to do so through operational tips on the site, recurring donations, active cause marketing, and licensing of our products. Recurring donations will allow a relatively predictable stream of revenue on both our donations and tips.
During Watsi's first two years of operations, Watsi will rely heavily on grants and individual private contributions from high net worth individuals to sustain the organization's operations. However, by year two, Watsi expects to offer product licensing as a consistent stream of revenue to supplement tips, grants, and private contributions. While we are receiving close to 14% (of the donation value) in tips, we understand from industry research that as our organization grows in scope and scale, this number will decrease to around 6%. Due to an expectant decrease in the percentage value of tips, we plan to add many new cause marketing partnerships. Recently, we have had success finding partnerships with companies. Offscreen magazine, Swish, and Teespring have raised around $15,000 for Watsi.

Na análise dos óbitos maternos e infantis, um fator determinante era a falta de apoio familiar para o cuidado na gravidez e com o bebê. Se era preciso repouso a gestante não fazia por não ter quem cuidasse dos outros filhos,dificuldades para cuidar do recém nascido e para amamentar. Como apoiar a mulher nessas situações? Veio a idéia da Mãe Social para apoiar a mulher no exercício da maternidade.

Nome do seu projeto

Projeto Trevo de Quatro Folhas

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

O Projeto Trevo de Quatro Folhas foi implantado em 2001 em Sobral, município do Ceará com 200.000 habitantes, sendo a maioria da população de renda muito baixa. O nome reflete as 4 fases de atuação: gravidez, parto e puerpério, nascimento e os 2 primeiros anos de vida. A análise dos óbitos maternos e infantis mostrou que a prescrição de repouso, na ausência de apoio familiar, não podia ser seguida, sendo um fator de risco para o parto prematuro. Se a mãe amamentava e precisava internar outro filho desmamava para acompanhar a internação. Muitas faltas às consultas de pré-natal ocorriam por não ter com quem deixar os filhos pequenos. O objetivo do Projeto é garantir à mulher sem apoio familiar, condições para exercer a maternidade. O apoio é dado pela 'Mãe Social"uma pessoa da comunidade, selecionada, capacitada e remunerada, que tem a função de atuar junto às gestantes e mães sem apoio familiar, com risco clínico e social e dificuldade no autocuidado e no cuidado com a criança, recebendo uma diária de um salário mínimo por dia trabalhado.As mães sociais estão cadastradas em um banco de dados. A Unidade de Saúde identifica as mulheres que precisam do apoio das mães sociais e encaminha a solicitação à equipe do Projeto que faz a visita domiciliar para avaliar as necessidades da família.A mãe social assume as tarefas da casa e os cuidados de saúde.O apoio é garantido pelos Padrinhos e Madrinhas Sociais, pessoas da sociedade civil e empresas que contribuem mensalmente para o Fundo Municipal da Criança e do Adolescente podendo descontar essa quantia do imposto de renda a pagar.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

As propostas do governo federal e estadual para redução da mortalidade materna/infantil investem no incremento de tecnologias e equipamentos que melhorem o cuidado com a mulher e o bebê. Entretanto, as mortes infantis e maternas expressam uma questão social e ocorrem principalmente em famílias de baixa renda, sem apoio familiar, que não podem pagar o auxilio de outros cuidadores. Os investimentos dos setores governamentais têm alto custo e pouca efetividade. A diferença principal é garantir condições para a mulher exercer a maternidade. Outro aspecto inovador é o envolvimento da sociedade civil, por meio das contribuições e discussão dos resultados nos eventos sociais que têm a presença de todos os participantes do Projeto.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

O Projeto teve início em dezembro de 2001 e os resultados alcançados levaram a municipalidade, em 2010, a votar uma Lei que transformou o Projeto em Política Pública garantindo recursos municipais para complementar o apoio recebido das contribuições da sociedade civil. O Projeto conta com uma equipe (enfermeira, assistente social e técnico de enfermagem), que já desenvolveu bastante experiência na seleção e capacitação das mães sociais e na avaliação das famílias que precisam de apoio social.Os resultados têm sensibilizado a sociedade civil para uma participação cada vez maior. Os eventos com os participantes com prestação de contas e confraternização entre as mães, as mães sociais, os padrinhos e madrinhas e a sociedade em geral, contribuem para mobilizar a participação de todos.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

Uma fonte de alimentação para inovações no Projeto são as análises do Comitê de Prevenção da Mortalidade Materna, Fetal e Infantil, implantado também em 2001, que se reune mensalmente para identificar os fatores envolvidos nos óbitos para que novas estratégias sejam implantadas visando maior impacto na redução dessas mortes. Um desafio que o Projeto vem enfrentando no seu crescimento é o acompanhamento das gestantes usuárias de crack para garantir o desenvolvimento intraútero e após o nascimento dos bebês.Outro desafio que o Projeto pretende enfrentar é garantir melhores condições para o desenvolvimento infantil nos 2 primeiros anos de vida, com capacitações para que as mães sociais possam ser agentes que estimulem o desenvolvimento na primeira infância.

Novas formas de cuidados com as gestantes e crianças

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

A solução inovadora é o cuidado mais intenso e diferenciado para evitar que ocorram óbitos maternos e infantis que podem ser evitados. Trata-se de um modelo simples e de baixo custo que consiste em formar pessoas da comunidade para ajudar as mulheres de risco clínico e social a ter uma gravidez sem problemas, amamentar seu bebê e promover o desenvolvimento das crianças. Essas cuidadoras, Mães Sociais, recebem uma capacitação inicial e são acompanhadas com educação permanente. A supervisão é feita pela enfermeira do Projeto e pela equipe de saúde da Unidade onde a família está cadastrada. A Mãe Social permanece na casa da família pelo tempo que for necessário, trabalhando 8 horas por dia. Ela pode acompanhar outro filho durante internações hospitalares para a mãe poder amamentar o bebê.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

O modelo está centrado na visão de que a mortalidade materna e infantil tem um componente social importante que o modelo biomédico organicista não é capaz de dar conta. Diante de uma população carente, outros fatores são fundamentais na determinação dos agravos. O modelo tem como referência os determinantes sociais da saúde segundo o modelo de Dahlgren e Whitehead para identificar quais as principais intervenções a serem feitas visando alcançar melhores níveis de saúde, educação e desenvolvimento social. O objetivo geral é a redução da mortalidade materna e infantil e proporcionar condições adequadas para a gravidez e o desenvolvimento da criança. Além disso, envolver a sociedade civil na responsabilidade pela sobrevivência materna e infantil.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

como não se trata de um negócio propriamente dito, é difícil estimar uma proposta de valor.
Explicitamos abaixo os custos do Projeto:
O custo das Mães Sociais no período de 2001 a 2011, foi em média U$ 24,191,91 por ano.
Os recursos humanos são vinculados à Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Sobral, assim como os custos com a logísticas e infraestrutura do Projeto.

Quem são seus clientes?

Os clientes do Projeto são as gestantes, parturientes, mães e crianças atendidas na rede de Atenção Primária de Saúde de Sobral que apresentam risco clínico e social, identificadas pela equipe de Saúde da Família das Unidades Básicas de Saúde da rede municipal de serviços de saúde. As equipes de Saúde da Família são compostas por 1 médico, 1 enfermeiro, 1 técnico de enfermagem e 4 a 5 Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS, pessoas da comunidade que fazem a ligação entre a população da microárea e as equipes de Saúde da Família dessa microárea.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Há um contato estreito entre a equipe do Projeto e as equipes de Saúde da Família do município. Os profissionais dessas equipes identificam as gestantes e mães que necessitam do apoio social e encaminham uma solicitação para o Projeto que realiza uma visita domiciliar para avaliar as condições da família e a real necessidade do apoio.
Para aumentar o número de participantes é feita divulgação na mídia e em eventos sociais do Projeto para conquistar novos parceiros (padrinhos e madrinhas sociais e empresas privadas) e para que as mulheres que podem ser beneficiadas possam solicitar esse apoio

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

A Taxa de Mortalidade Infantil (TMI) que em 2001, ano de implantação do Projeto, era de 29,6 caiu para 13,6 óbitos por mil nascidos vivos em 2012, uma redução de 55,4%, sendo uma das menores taxas do Ceará. A Razão de Mortalidade Materna (RMM) apresenta oscilações e ainda constitui um desafio. Em 2001, a RMM foi de 27,9/100.000 nascidos vivos, antes da criação do Comitê de Mortalidade Materna, quando não havia investigação dos óbitos de mulheres em idade fértil, o que pode ter contribuído para a subnotificação desses óbitos. Nos anos de 2009 e 2010 não foi registrado nenhum óbito materno. Em 2011 a RMM foi de 94,3/100.000 caindo para 63,4 em 2012. Todos os óbitos foram analisados e classificados quanto à evitabilidade, sendo propostas medidas de intervenção para evitar novas ocorrências. A taxa de mortalidade neonatal precoce era de 68,7 em 2002, tendo caído para 52,2 por 1.000 nascidos vivos em 2012.
A inserção de um número considerável de mulheres, Mães Sociais, no mercado de trabalho.Além disso, foram gerados novos empregos para essas mulheres que estão sendo contratadas para cuidar de pessoas, nas famílias de renda mais alta.
Ao todo foram acompanhadas 21.007 famílias. Nos 11 anos do Projeto 3.723 mulheres tiveram o apoio de Mãe Social, sendo 563 gestantes, 7 parturientes, 1.915 puérperas e 1.238 mães de crianças menores de 2 anos de idade
Um aspecto fundamental na avaliação do impacto são os relatos das gestantes e mães sobre a importância do apoio recebido pela Mãe Social e como esse apoio foi decisivo para a sobrevivência do bebê e das crianças menores de 2 anos

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

Utilizamos os indicadores epidemiológicos que podem avaliar o impacto das medidas tomadas: Razão de Mortalidade Materna (RMM); Taxa de Mortalidade Infantil (TMI); Proporção de nascidos vivos de baixo peso ao nascer (<2.500g)
Taxa de Partos Prematuros; Taxa de Mortalidade Neonatal Precoce (TMNP
Número de gestantes que ingressaram no pré-natal no primeiro trimestre de gestação, número de gestantes que realizaram exames completos no pré-natal.
Entrevistas com as gestantes e mães que receberam apoio das Mães Sociais

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Estamos pensando em expandir o Projeto para os municípios da Região Noroeste do Ceará, a qual tem uma população de 1.288.545 habitantes e 47 pequenos muncípios, os quais tem uma população com características sóciodemográficas semelhantes a de Sobral. Esses municípios tem como referencia secundária em saúde os serviços de saúde de Sobral.
Além disso, o Projeto já foi apresentado em outros países da América do Sul e no México que demonstraram interesse em implantar essa estratégia. Atualmente a Rede Cegonha pretende implantar o Projeto nos municípios que participam dessa Rede.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

A taxa de mortalidade infantil de Sobral hoje é de 13,6 óbitos por mil nascidos vivos. A projeção para os próximos 3 anos é reduzir essa taxa para 1 dígito. A Razão de Mortalidade Materna é de 63,4/100.000 nascidos vivos e pretende-se reduzir essa taxa eliminando todos os óbitos maternos evitáveis.
Reduzir o número de recém-nascidos de baixo peso ao nascer para 5%.
Estender o apoio das mães sociais a todas as mulheres que necessitarem desse apoio.

Since 2009 I’m a Family Doctor, have 4000 patients in total, and see 80 daily. Some patients visit the clinic regularly while others seldom request health-services. Long waiting hours inconveniences patients and lead to tensions. Monitoring chronic conditions is also problematic. Experiencing these, I developed e-hastam, which provides an easy and free access to preventative health-services.

INOVAÇÃO

Nome do seu projeto

e-patient

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Creating an effective patient-doctor communication environment is the key idea by which e-hastam transforms the preventative health systems. E-hastam brings together three critical elements of 21st Century’s communication style to produce three crucial outcomes that are transformative for health-systems. The innovation that e-hastam promises extends on the power of information and communication technologies (ICT). Specifically, in e-hastam:
•e-appointments enable patients and doctors to schedule and manage appointments
•e-monitoring enables tracking patients with chronic conditions over time and provide routine preventative health services (e.g. diabetics and vaccines)
•e-mailing allows patients to receive care outside of the doctor’s office and doctors can reach patients easily at any time (e.g. during epidemic outbreaks)
These ICT features accomplish the following outcomes:
•Time-Conscious: Our motto is to provide quality care with the necessary time each patient needs. With e-hastam patients do not need to wait for prolonged hours and doctors can tailor their time based on the needs of the individual patients.
•Economically Smart: Ineffective patient-doctor communications is a substantial burden on the health budget. E-hastam eliminates costs related to patients taking sick days and saves costs related to chronic conditions (e.g. type 2 diabetes, hypertension.)
•One-Stop-Shop: Patients and doctors access all services from one place. E-hastam provides an easy and free access to preventative health-services and creates a positive patient-doctor relationship.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Currently, there is no transformative model providing easy and free online communication platform like e-hastam at the primary-care level in Turkey. Some private hospitals provide e-mail and appointment services. However, these are at a cost and only available for patients who can afford care from these institutions. E-hastam is unique for three reasons. 1) Majority of Turkey’s population receive health-services in primary-care clinics by Family Medicine Specialists. E-hastam targets those patients and doctors and also is the first such service in its kind. 2) e-hastam provides an easy and free access and improves time management, patient-doctor relationships, and management of chronic conditions. 3) These provide significant economic benefits and quality in preventative health-care.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

Four people from different professions contributed with their expertise: a family medicine specialist, a health-care provider, a software developer, and a quantitative researcher. Our innovation’s success stems from the need sensing capacity of our team. Once the need for e-hastam was realized, we envisioned the benefits e-hastam would deliver. Together we created a prototype and coordinated the work through e-mails and face-to-face meetings. Everyone demonstrated commitment by working in their time and cooperated on several activities including receiving feedback from different stakeholders and designing research proposals to evaluate e-hastam’s promises. With flexibility and adaptation we constantly improve and change e-hastam based on the feedback and expectations of our stakeholders.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

Needs sensing is one key element of our growth strategy against challenges and future goals. We use needs sensing to achieve progress in three areas: product improvement, market development, and sustainability. E-hastam’s mission is to provide a service that is of great value to the society. With this mission, we constantly evaluate e-hastam and get feedback from key stakeholders. Also, building and maintaining a market is a constant challenge. We overcome this with strategies including marketing e-hastam to other family medicine specialists and seeking funding from foundations to scale-up and reach out to more primary-care clinics. Lastly, sustainability is addressed by creating ideas on how to generate revenue for the monetary needs and establishing partnerships to enhance outcomes

The problem that e-hastam offers to solve is the ineffective and inefficient patient-doctor communication at the primary-care level in Turkey. Turkey has a population of 73 million and every person is assigned a Family Medicine Specialist (FMS). On average, each FMS provides primary-care to 3500 patients. Management of 3500 patients is a complicated task when FMSs lack necessary resources. Main concerns include long waiting hours, increased tension between patients and doctors, difficulty monitoring patients with chronic conditions, and difficulty providing preventative care to populations at high risk such as infants, children, and new mothers. Lack of effective communication platforms hinders delivery of routine checkups, immunization, and personalized counseling on healthy lifestyles.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

E-hastam uses three elements of digital technologies to transform the patient-doctor communication. Specifically, in e-hastam:
e-appointments allows for scheduling and managing appointments
e-monitoring allows tracking patients over time for chronic conditions
e-mailing allows patients to receive care outside of the clinics and doctors to reach patients at any time (e.g. during epidemic outbreaks)
Major outcomes are:
Time-Conscious: Doctors can manage appointments, and thus personalize the care based on the specific needs of each patient.
Economically Smart: E-hastam reduces costs related to patients taking sick days and by better managing the chronic conditions.
One-Stop-Shop: Access to services is from one place. E-hastam is easy, free and creates a positive experience for all.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

The vision of e-hastam is to instantly connect patients with doctors and enhance the quality of primary-care services. We believe that people thrive and meet their full potential when they are physically healthy. Thus, our objective is to provide them with a simple and free online communication platform which will enable to manage their health needs more effectively. In the short-term, our aim is to improve the patient-doctor experience, increase quality of primary-care, and significantly reduce the cost of primary-care services. In the long-term, our purpose is to reach out to a wider community, improve e-hastam to its highest potential, and ultimately make it available to everyone in the world for free.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

E-hastam: Start managing your health today!
-Connect with your doctor
-Set-up appointments anywhere at any time
-Monitor your health status
E-hastam provides valuable tools for patients and doctors to manage and support a healthy life-style with a reduced cost.

Quem são seus clientes?

Currently, our customers are primarily the Family Medicine Specialists and their patients. The Turkish Ministry of Health is also one of our key stakeholders since it will benefit from e-hastam to a great extent.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

We reach out to our customers via two approaches: face-to-face meetings and online communication tools:
-Face-to-Face: We visit primary-care clinics and meet with both Family Medicine Specialists and patients to introduce our product and receive feedback. At these meetings, we chat with patients and develop networks with doctors.
-Website: We use the website to make announcements about changes and new features. -Customers can reach us with questions or concerns through the contact form.
-E-mail: We send newsletters and brochures via email to keep in touch and inform about our product.
-Twitter,Facebook,LinkedIn: We use social media tools to constantly stay in touch with our customers and partners.
-Surveys: We regularly send customer satisfaction surveys for feedback and improvement.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

E-hastam’s primary activities are:
-e-appointments:Patients and doctors can schedule and manage appointments.
-e-monitoring:Patients can keep a journal of their chronic conditions. For example, hypertension patients can record their daily values and monitor progress over time. Other data capturing capabilities include recording blood glucose levels, medication times, weight, and children’s immunization schedules. Doctors can analyze this data to identify the patients who need intervention on their conditions.
-e-mailing:This allows for patients to receive care outside of the clinics and doctors to provide easy and fast for consultation and make medical announcements.
-e-health:Patients can access to up to date health information through e-health dictionary and educational health media.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Currently, there is no transformative model providing easy and free online communication platform like e-hastam at the primary-care level in Turkey. Some private hospitals provide e-mail and appointment services. However, these are at a cost and only available for patients who can afford care from these institutions. E-hastam is thus unique and first such service in its kind. However, competitors may emerge in the e-health market quickly. We plan to keep our edge through the e-monitoring system which gives the power of collecting and analyzing health data. Our key supporter in the field is the Turkish Ministry of Health. They support digital innovations and we plan to partner during the implementation stage to reach out to primary-care clinics nationwide.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

The challenges that we may face are two-fold. First, patients and doctors may resist to the technological changes. They may, therefore, adopt e-hastam in a slower pace. We plan to overcome this challenge by providing training sessions and personal assistance to customers who needs the most help in technology. Second, technology changes in a rapid pace. Keeping e-hastam up to date and meeting the needs of our customers is our priority. However, this effort may require constant revenue. We plan to generate this revenue through applying funding from foundations and Turkish Ministry of Health. We will also plan to partner with organizations that will assist us in producing ideas on how to generate revenue using the advantages of being an online platform.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

For growth, we proactively act on three areas:
Product improvement: We are working with a software developer to meet the needs of our customers.
Market development: We advertise e-hastam through several channels to expand into new markets.
Sustainability: We write proposals and establish partnerships on generating revenue in the e-health market.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Novo(s) grupo(s) de cliente(s), Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

E-hastam was piloted in Istanbul by 5 Family Medicine Specialists and 3586 patients. Positive impacts of e-hastam were evidenced by the reduction of daily number of patients by half, from 80 to 40 daily for each doctor. This led to improved patient-doctor relationships and screening of patients who never sought services before. We perceive all these as an evidence for readiness to growth.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

-have e-hastam used in every primary-care clinic in Turkey
-increase the number of people who receive primary-care services
-identify at risk patients for developing chronic conditions and promote healthy life-style changes
-reduce the economic burden significantly on the health budget through a well-managed preventative-care system
-generate revenue for sustainability

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

April-September 2013: In six months, we will hear back from our funding applications.
April 2013-March 2014: In one-year, we plan to expand into one eight of all primary-care clinics in Turkey (approximately 500). At this time, we will work on improving e-hastam’s features for better customer experience by adapting new ideas and the state-of-art technologies. Also, the privacy of our customers is very important for us. We will establish a team for improving the security measures of e-hastam. Additionally, we will experiment with revenue generating ideas using the advantages of e-health.
April 2014-March 2015: We will continue expanding into new primary-care clinics with the support of Ministry of Health. Also, we will evaluate the first year and revise our business and growth plan.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

We piloted e-hastam in Istanbul with five FMSs and 3586 patients. The evaluation suggested three positive impact: 1)The number of patients visiting the clinic reduced by half for each FMSs, from 80 to 40, 2)Both patients and doctors reported increased satisfaction. While doctors could provide more time for each patient, patients had more access to their doctors to consult on medical issues. 3)Doctors identified patients who never have requested services before and inquired them on their health.
The pilot suggested three positive indicators for the cost analysis. Because patients plan their visits ahead of time and can consult via e-mail, the costs of paid sick time and traveling to-and-from clinics reduced substantially. Also, since doctors monitor chronic conditions, prescription records, and immunization schedules, health resources and public health are managed better. We estimate statistically significant positive impact on the health budget when e-hastam is implemented nation-wide.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

We evaluate the social impact using three approaches.
1)We surveyed stakeholders before and after using e-hastam during the evaluation of the pilot. Doctors and patients reported on the frequency of doctor-visits, e-mail consultations, improved health status due to the e-monitoring, paid sick days, and travel costs. We also interviewed with a subset of participants on the ease of use of e-hastam and its performance.
2)We are constantly in contact with users via our website, twitter and facebook pages. We examine comments to improve services or respond to user questions.
3)We examine the statistics of e-hastam’s website to inquiry on the server traffic and determine most popular features.
4)We have a pending research proposal to examine the impact of e-hastam on health outcomes.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

The only infrastructure that e-hastam requires is access to Internet and computers. Thus, effectively, e-hastam can be implemented in any region as long as there is access to Internet and computers. However, we believe e-hastam would deliver the biggest social impact in developing countries where primary-care systems are still emerging and where the health budgets are tight. Since Turkey is one of the role model countries in Middle East and North Africa, we envision that it would be a smoother process to have e-hastam implemented in those regions initially, such as Iraq, Egypt, and Tunisia. Once these countries adopt the system, e-hastam can expand into new regions. However, as e-hastam expands the system should be improved to meet the needs of these new communities.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

In three years, we envision that e-hastam will significantly improve the health status of the general public on measurable health indicators such as life expectancy, infant mortality, chronic disease prevalence, hospitalization, mental health status, and health related behaviors (physical activity, nutrition, addictions). Improvement on these measures will translate into significantly less health-care spending and will positively impact the quality of life in many areas. Improved public health will have many indirect effects. For example, with healthier children the drop-out rates from high school will decrease. We project significant returns on these key outcomes because e-hastam can be easily scaled-up with access to Internet and computers, which are widely available in most regions.

Descreva sua estratégia financeira atual

During the development of e-hastam for the first time and at the piloting phase, our financing primarily depended on personal funds and volunteer work. However, now that e-hastam has completed its pilot, we are expanding into new primary-care clinics and generating revenue by having Family Medicine Specialists (FMSs) purchase annual memberships at a fee. Once the doctors pay their annual dues they become a member and their patients use e-hastam for free, at no cost. For e-hastam to stay active, the FMSs need to renew their membership annually and pay the annual dues. We envision that 60% of our revenue will come from annual fees. However, having a diverse revenue generation portfolio is key to our success. Our goal is to generate several revenue streams to reduce reliance on one source of revenue. Thus, in addition to annual fees, our second revenue generation strategy is to allow for professional e-advertising to Healthcare Professionals using the e-hastam’s platform. These e-advertises will only be visible to doctors and we expect to generate 30% of our revenue from this source. Lastly, our third strategy is to seek governmental and philanthropic funds, which in total will make the remaining 10% of our revenue.

Explique sua estratégia de geração de receita mais detalhadamente

Membership fees (60%): FMSs are highly likely to purchase memberships because: 1)The government encourages digital solutions and provides partial funds for such purchases. 2)E-hastam is first and only such online platform in its kind. 3)After the pilot, many FMSs already requested information on purchasing options and became members.
e-Advertising (30%): For sustainability e-hastam needs a diversified income. Thus, we will use the advantages of being an online platform and focus on generating revenue by allowing e-advertises to health care professionals.
Government and Philanthropic Funding (10%): Such funds will be sought for research and development purposes. They help e-hastam to scientifically assess its outcomes and provide services that are of great value to the society.

Estratégias de filantropia que você usa

Estratégia diversificada.

Explique sua abordagem filantrópica mais detalhadamente

Part of our purpose is to connect patients to their doctors through an easy and free online platform that offers several useful tools. However, membership fees and e-advertising may not cover e-hastam’s all costs, in particular the costs related to scientifically showing the impact of e-hastam. Thus, we first plan to use philanthropic funding for the purposes of conducting rigorous scientific research. Second, when opening-up to new markets partnering with foundations is key for introducing e-hastam to new communities. Local foundations may be very resourceful in enhancing our understanding of the communities’ specific needs. They can also help us form strong relationships with the community at a faster pace. Thus, we plan to use philanthropic funding during such market development efforts

Fale mais sobre os itens selecionados; explique como você vai manter o financiamento.

Funding will be sustained through a cycle of market penetration, market and partnership development, improving the product through research and development, implementing e-advertisement strategies to healthcare professionals, and ultimately scaling up the project.
The purpose of all these activities is first to maintain the yearly subscribers in the existing markets, second to increase the rate of new customers in new markets, and third to work on product development and offer an improved product with new features to both existing and new markets. All these efforts eventually facilitate project’s scaling-up.
One of our major goals is to keep the cost of annual subscription as low as possible for doctors and provide e-hastam for free to patients. Thus, generating revenue through e-advertises to healthcare professionals is key for accomplishing these goals. Also, as we move forward, based on the changing needs and dynamics of the market, we will evaluate and revise our sustainability model.

Nome do seu projeto

Divine Solutions

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Health is low political issue in India, poor health indicators IMR & MMR are still very high, High burden of Infectious diseases, rapidly Increasing chronic diseases and new emerging diseases like resistant TB, unregulated health care provider, high dominance of private (for-profit) healthcare provider, and very poor or negligible public health infrastructure; In India more than 75% of health care expenditure born by out of pocket lead to more than 30 million people below the poverty line every year, no preventive measures very poor immunization coverage and health literacy; It create the sense of urgency to bring some changes in a way healthcare accessed and delivered in India, I think patient education and delivery of care by innovative way is the key solutions for all this problem. empowerment of patient by providing the useful information to the patient and also working as a catalyst to improve the overall health care delivery is the key to change the behavior of population.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

We think this is very innovative way of tracking health status and taking care of patient by using friendly technologies, actually on front end patient able to see only useful information which is very essential to improve health like tips on diet, information about the trimester,alert for time of medications, doctors visit, diagnostic test due, It's very innovative way of informing people about there health needs and also patient feels somebody is taking care for him

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

MATRUTVA our solution for safe mother and child health it's a application which placed in healthcare organization, information of patient about his/her health status during every visit is recorded using the application. then all this information is stored into our server our back-end team make possible for patient to see the essential information on his mobile or using desktop which has very different front end than the one with healthcare organization, basically our basic aim is to inform patient about what to do or don’t, we introduce patient about the trimesters with very simple and sophisticated manner, we inform her about next visit due, diagnostic test due, about diet, how to take care yourself also we have very interesting module on garbhsanskar, all this mechanism is very simple.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

In India I won’t found this type of technology used for the maternal and child health care services there are some but not focusing on patient education, all those are simple public health solutions like in Gujarat E-Mamta which is actually only for tracking of mother and child health for the health care services, In our MATRUTVA we are addressing the basic issue of patient education and awareness, emergency management .etc. this is advantage we have today but as a entity which is interested in the improving the health of population we will ensure the new innovations and thinking in our future course.

Em 2010, A Arte de Nascer foi selecionado no desafio " Young Champions of Maternal Health" promovido pela Ashoka/Maternal Task Force, e eu tive a oportunidade de participar do programa. Durante 09 meses morei no Mali, onde implementei a metodologia do projeto A Arte de Nascer, adptando para a cultura e as necessidades locais.

Queremos saber mais sobre seu momento “A-ha!”. Compartilhe a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(es) viu(viram) o potencial desta solução para transformar o mundo.

Após ter iniciado o projeto em uma comunidade rural em região carente do Nordeste do Brasil, passei a realizar atendimentos médicos dos bebês das mães que participaram da intervenção durante a gravidez. Observando indicadores como aleitamento materno exclusivo, vacinas, desenvolvimento neuro psicomotor, percebi o impacto de uma ideia simples na melhoria da saude materno-infantil da comunidade.

Nome do seu projeto

A Arte de Nascer (The Art of Being Born)

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

A inovação do projeto tem por base o uso da arte associado às intervenções tradicionais na área de saúde durante o momento da gestação. A educação em saúde, o estímulo ao vínculo materno-infantil, o incentivo a mudança de comportamento na preparação da maternidade e a adoção de hábitos saudáveis durante o processo do gestar e com o cuidado do recem nascido são trabalhados em um programa de encontros com as gestantes reforçados com arteterapia, como canções de ninar , poesias, trabalhos manuais, cinema, etc, resultando em mães e crianças mais saudáveis nas comunidades. A arte, tem se mostrado poderosa ferramenta no vínculo entre mãe e bebe nas gestações indesejadas, no empoderamento da mulher e da comunidade e como estímulo no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor das crianças.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Diversas iniciativas de prevenção e educação em saúde falham em obter as esperadas mudanças de comportamento, para que aconteça a adoção de práticas saudáveis e a melhoria nas condições de saúde de uma população. O uso da arte associado à educação em saúde, ao estímulo a mudança interior-pessoal para a maternidade ( e paternidade) , à construção de vinculos e o acoplamento de valores para a melhoria da comunidade, resultam na formação de saúde e desenvolvimento de uma localidade. Noções de responsabilidade social, voluntariado, cooperativismo, valores morais e cuidado e proteção com as mulheres e crianças são ensinados em meio aos encontros de formaçao de saúde em gestantes.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

A metodologia do projeto está disponível para ser replicado em diferentes localidades, por setores públicos ou pprivados, com a ajuda de voluntariado e responsabilidade social.O projeto necessita de ambiente operacional capaz de inspirar pessoas e/ou organizaçãos, de fornecer estímulo e treinamento para a adoção do projeto, suporte e consultoria durante fase de implementação e pessoas engajadas e apaixonadas na construção de um mundo melhor.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

O projeto tem o potencial de se adaptar à realidade em que vai ser ou está sendo realizado. Intervir na prevenção de doenças ou problemas inerentes naquela comunidade, estimular melhorias benéficas a nível coletivo, conscientizar a comunidade sobre responsabilidade social, além de adaptações no programa de educação em saúde materna-infantil de acordo com os novos conhecimentos científicos.

Por favor, especifique:

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

O projeto consiste em um programa para ser replicado durante a gestação em diferentes localidades, principalmente nas comunidades mais carentes. Reune educação em saúde, arteterapia, e valorização da mulher como centro do processo reprodutivo, estimulando a mudança individual, a incorporação de valores morais, e a adoção de práticas saudáveis. O programa pode ser adotado por voluntários da própria comunidade, com propagação das idéias de responsabilidade social, cooperativismo e proteção das mulheres e crianças. As mulheres aprendem sobre si mesmas, cuidados na gestação, como planejar as próximas, parto e cuidados com o recem nascido, além da promoção do vinculo-materno infantil e estimulo neuropscicomotor através de tecnicas artísticas.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

O programa visa gerar crianças mais saudáveis, protegidas e seguras no ambiente em que vivem, contribuindo na redução da morbi-mortalidade materna e infantil, e o desenvolvimento a longo prazo da comunidade. Objetiva a adoção de práticas que levam à prevenção de doenças a nível individual e coletivo, o fortalecimento do vínculo entre mãe e bebê, e o suporte psicológico durante o período da gestação.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

O programa pode ser replicado em diferentes locais, através de igrejas, ONGs, centros comunitários, instituições de saúde, etc por trabalhadores voluntários ou das instituições que desenvolvem o projeto. A metodologia é encontrada em um livro publicado em 2010 (A arte de nascer-12 encontros para formação de saúde em gestantes) que encontra-se disponível no site do projeto. A organização oferece capacitação inicial (não obrigatória) por um valor de 1200 reais para o grupo que desejar aprofundamento e treinamento.

Quem são seus clientes?

Os clientes consistem naqueles que compôem organizações governamentais ou não, que realizam trabalhos sociais, com a comunidade, e iniciam ou estruturam o programa " A Arte de Nascer".

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Palestras associadas à apresentação poético-musical que divulgam os benefícios deste tipo de intervençao, em universidades, centros de saúdes, igrejas, organizações não governamentais, etc; Livros (" A arte de nascer- 12 encontros para formação de saúde em gestantes " e " A arte de nascer- para mães e bebês") que disseminam a idéia e o estímulo em diferentes regiões do Brasil; divulgação na mídia (entrevistas TV e jornais, blogs, redes sociais, etc); viagens, estágios e cursos, a nível nacional e internacional que possibilite parcerias e/ou aprendizado na área.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

Emprego em hospital público como infectologista na cidade de Natal/RN; coordenação e atividades voluntárias em grupos de gestantes nas cidades de Macaíba e Extremoz-RN; Atuação como infectologista durante a gestação para prevenir doenças de transmissão vertical, realizando atendimentos e pesquisa na área; Atividade voluntária junto ao grupo Auta de Luz que realiza apresentações culturais em escolas e outras instituições no RN, visando a difusão das artes e cultura norte rio grandense; Voluntária da associação de Distrofia Muscular do RN, promovendo tividades sociais e de lazer com as crianças portadoras de necessidades especiais.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Os pares consistem nas organizações que trabalham para a melhoria da saúde materno infantil, que pode representar parcerias e aprimoramento do trabalho que realizamos. Como obstáculos, as dificuldades encontradas hoje pelo sistema público de saúde no estado, como falta de leitos obstetricos, baixa qualidade de pre-natal, peregrinaçao durante o momento do trabalho de parto por um leito hospitalar, superlotação em hospitais, dificuldade na realização de exames essenciais, tem contribuido negativamente para a saúde materno e infantil nas regiões mais pobres, o que impede uma assistência digna às mulheres durante a gestação.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

Atualmente, a nível organizacional, a falta de registro e estruturação da organizaçao, prejudica a captação de recursos e parcerias financeiras com o setor privado. Com todos os trabalhadores voluntários, há pouco tempo disponível para realização de certas atividades que são imprescíndiveis para o crescimento do trabalho realizado.
A nível social, o fato da preferencia por soluções intervencionistas, ao invés de prevenção, e a falta de visão da arte como recurso terapêutico também constitui barreiras a ser vencidas.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

Estruturação da organização--> parcerias financeiras com instituições públicas e privadas--> possibilidade de expansão/divulgação do programa---> recursos humanos, publicação de novos livros, desenvolvimento de sede de treinamento de novos grupos, abertura de novas células, parcerias regionais/internancionais.

Em quais dimensões de crescimento você atualmente está focando para sua inovação? [selecione todas que se aplicam]

Nova(s) região(ões).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

O fato de ser uma idéia simples, facilmente replicada, de baixo custo e uma solução criativa com impacto na morbimortalidade materna e infantil. A possibilidade de usar trabalhadores voluntários, também se constitui ponto favorácel ao crescimento.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

Abertura de novas células em outras regiões, beneficiando mais pessoas e melhorando a saúde materna e infantil.
Desenvolvimento de novas possibilidades de sustentabilidade, que permita crescimento e fortalecimento em nível institucional;
Tradução e publicação de livros e trabalhos poéticos-musicais, difundindo a importancia do momento gestacional e a arte terapia.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

Desenvolvimento de plano de negócios que vise sustentabilidade--- 1 ano; possibilidade de estruturação da organização--2 anos; novas parcerias e abertura de novas células a nível regional e global--1 ano; construção de centro de treinamento A arte de Nascer---5 anos.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

leia mais↑ ocultar↑ ocultar

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

Aumento de informações e adoção de práticas que promovem a saúde durante a gestação e a primeira infância; maior número de partos naturais; reforço do vínculo materno infantil; valorização pela comunidade da saúde materna e infantil; abandono pelas mulheres de hábitos como uso de drogas ilícitas, alcool e tabaco; valorização da familía, e da educação das crianças com base no exemplo e valores morais.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

Além de alguns indicadores de saúde, como número maior número de consultas durante o pre-natal, prática de atividade física, mudanças na alimentaçao, número de partos naturais, tempo de aleitamento materno exclusivo, desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor dos bebês, notamos por experiencia pessoal as mudanças que acontecem em nível individual e na comunidade após a adoção do projeto.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Sim, e esta afirmação pôde ser comprovada pela adaptação do programa no Mali, Africa, que apresenta grandes diferencas a níveis sociais, políticos, culturais e religiosos do Brasil. A experiencia mostrou a capacidade que o programa tem de ser adaptado a diferentes culturas e situações, sendo capaz de modificar condiçoes e comportamentos de saúde com mudanças simples e de baixo custo. O projeto após ser replicado com um grupo piloto, foi experimentado para ser replicado a nível nacional, em diferentes regiões do Mali.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

Estruturar e registrar a organização; escrever e publicar novo livro; adaptar o projeto para ser replicado em outros países (India/EUA; firmar parcerias para desenvolvimento de novas células no Brasil; Monitorar e fortalecer as células já inauguradas; encontrar soluções que possibilitem a sustentabilidade.

Changing the Game: Redefining Innovation

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

Global Partnerships affirms that financial services are an important tool for poor microentrepreneurs who struggle daily to operate businesses and households with scarce resources, we believe that microfinance institutions (MFIs) and cooperatives can play an even greater role in addressing global poverty. What is required is innovation – pioneering new business models that MFIs and cooperatives can use to broaden their service offerings and deepen their impact. The innovation is the delivery channel as microfinance institutions and cooperatives around the world reach populations at the base of the pyramid, that are too often inaccessible by the public health system. MFIs can serve as a powerful and fully sustainable channel to address these challenges, by leveraging an existing infrastructure to reach people living in poverty, often in remote areas. The benefits include the following: 1) particularly in cases where credit is delivered via a group-based methodology, the services delivery mechanism already in place enables regular (bi-weekly or monthly in most cases) “touch” with tens of thousands of poor women; 2) the best MFI credit officers already have a relationship with clients based on trust that is only reinforced by taking on intimate health-related concerns; 3) geographically, a client’s branch office is often just as close as the nearest health facility; and 4) the fact that MFIs are financial services providers enables them to design creative savings and payment mechanisms to help client overcome the access barriers related to liquidity.

GP's model is distinct in several ways: 1) we build on the strengths of MFIs and cooperatives to disseminate health information, screen for disease at existing distribution points, identify existing services, create alliances with local providers, and create financial services that align health care expenditures with the cash flow realities of poor households; 2) we provide a rigorous focus on business models that can be market-sustained and scaled; 3) we invest different types of capital, including low cost loans and start-up grants, tailored to meet the needs of our partners and the requirements of business plans; and 4) we leverage learning from across our regional portfolio about what's working in other parts of the world.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

Global Partnerships (GP) applies a comprehensive screening and due diligence process to all MFI and cooperative candidates. Part of these processes is a proprietary social performance rating that credits those organizations with robust and relevant non-financial services programs, as well as those that deliver those packages sustainably, at scale, with higher ratings. As a result of these pre-existing relationships with MFI and cooperative partners in the region, GP staff have identified a potential pipeline of partners who have a vision for distinguishing themselves in the market with non-financial services, and in some cases, some experience with delivering education or limited health services, either directly or indirectly through alliances.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

We are constantly testing, monitoring and evaluating the assumptions of our business models. To ensure that we are continually innovating and adapting we have put key processes in place to ensure we are able adapt as necessary. To this end we have quarterly reporting requirements that measure key indicators of success, monthly calls with our partners, and on-site technical assistance once a quarter,

The links between poverty, health, and development are well established. Poverty impacts an individual’s health, including the ability and opportunity to engage in health-seeking and health-promoting behavior. At the same time, poor health can deepen poverty by diminishing an individual’s ability to be economically productive and through catastrophic health costs. Apart from economic barriers, poor households face additional structural barriers that result in a lack of access to, and utilization of, effective and affordable health education and services. Often, it is the poor, particularly the rural poor, who must incur additional costs to travel long distances to reach the nearest health facility.

Business model development and implementation

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

Global Partnerships works closely with identified microfinance institution and cooperative partners to develop and scale sustainable business models for providing essential, high quality health services, which generally includes some combination of education, early detection exams, primary level medical consults,and other products and services such as basic medicines. Not only do we provide the knowledge capital to help develop sustainable business models, but we supply the seed capital necessary to bring the organization from pilot to scale. We anticipate that the business models of our partner organizations will demonstrate that health outcomes are improving for clients and that the business models will be financially sustainable by the end of the project (roughly three years).

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

Based on early success in developing a revenue-sustained model for delivering health education, diagnostics, and low cost services through the village bank model in Nicaragua, Global Partnerships has launched a $2.6 million initiative aimed at expanding health services with six partners in six countries by June 2015. Our initial goal is to create business models that directly and sustainably bring essential health services to more than 100,000 people, most of them low income women, with the potential to scale to reach millions.

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

We provide direct technical assistance to develop sustainable business models for delivering health services and well as the necessary seed capital to bridge the gap between the start-up and scale of services.

Quem são seus clientes?

Our customers are microfinance institutions (MFI) and cooperatives whose leaders are committed to integrating health into their service offerings. MFIs and cooperatives already serve millions of people living in poverty, and we believe can serve as effective, low cost and market sustained channels for expanding access to health education, disease screening, consultations and essential medicines.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

Global Partnerships becomes aware of potential Health Services Fund (HSF) partners because they have been screened as candidates for GP's Social Investment Fund based on their programmatic and financial profile. The HSF focuses on identifying partners that have aligned missions, institutional commitment and capable management to develop sustainable and scalable business models. We anticipate that within the upcoming year and as our portfolio of partners grows we will reach future customers through conferences and publications about the success of the models.

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

After we select a partner and complete a due diligence visit we move forward to develop a business model for delivering health services. The model includes: a definition of a high impact core health services package, low-marginal cost operational strategies and its associated cost-revenue structure, a detailed implementation plan, financial sustainability projections, and a monitoring and evaluation plan. Once the model is complete our partners pilot while we closely monitor key indicators of success and provide the gap in necessary funding, as the model is designed to be financially sustainable at scale, Once the pilot is complete we have adapted the model and develop detailed expansion plan and move forward to expand/scale the program.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

There are other organizations and institutions that deliver education modules via the village bank channel or offer additional non-financial services along with financial services in order to attract and retain clients, therefore, the idea is not necessarily new to microfinance practitioners or donors in the region. However, there are few, if any, organizations that have achieved a holistic sustainable business model approach to their programs that allows them to offer services sustainably at scale.

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

We are currently piloting in three countries (Haiti, Honduras, Ecuador), and scaling in one country (Nicaragua). Each model requires constant monitoring as we find ourselves continually adapting as new information is learned or as assumptions of the model are tested. We are currently a team of two full staff and in order to maintain the level of engagement and quality we'll have to add additional staff.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

We currently have four partners and aspire to have 6 partners in the next year. We are actively adding potential partners into our pipeline and starting to perform due diligence visits to see if we have aligned goals and vision.

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

We are currently piloting and scaling in four countries and have learned a great deal about business models that work and that can be replicated in other markets.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

We want to build a diverse, yet strategic portfolio of partners that allows us to share and replicate best practice.Our goal is to create business models that directly and sustainably bring essential health services to more than 100,000 people, most of them low income women, with the potential to scale to reach millions.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

We currently have four partners and aim to have six partners that are reaching more than 100,000 people with sustainable, quality health services by June 2015. In the mid-term are striving to catalyze additional interest by other MFIs, Cooperatives as well as other stakeholders to implement and/or enable the implementation of similar sustainable health services business models in other contexts. In order to achieve this we are participating in conferences to bring awareness around our work and writing up case-studies to highlight best practices and lessons learned.

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

GP is achieving target goals at the expected rate. Half-way in to our three year goals, GP has active grant investments with four partners in four countries, including: Pro Mujer (Nicaragua), Fonkoze (Haiti), COMIXMUL (Honduras), and ESPOIR (Ecuador). We have developed detailed business models for all four partners with made initial grant investments of over $330,000. Pro Mujer in Nicaragua has scaled part of its model to all of its 5 branches in the last 12 months. Fonkoze launched its pilot program in the last six months, COMIXMUL launched its pilot in January 2013 and ESPOIR launched its pilot in March 2013. As of December 2012 our partners had reached 32,766 people with health services and were tracking towards sustainability.

Fonkoze is a good example of what our programs look like, as the health program will leverage Fonkoze's existing 46 branch offices with include 1,800 village banks (close to 60,000 women clients) across the most rural and isolated communities to deliver monthly preventive education and screening, focused on prevalent conditions particularly anemia, malnutrition, hypertension, and diabetes, and access to primary care consults with existing providers for clients and their families. Fonkoze's health program is unprecedented in terms of its ambitions for scale and sustainability

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

We require our partners to submit quarterly financial and programmatic reports. After every submission we have a call with each partner to walk through any questions we might have and brainstorm ideas to overcome any challenges. We also do on-site technical assistance with each partner once every quarter. These visits are an opportunity to see the programs in action and to work through any challenges they might be facing. We have found that it allows us to make necessary changes to the models in "real time".

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Yes. Honestly, it would work in any county that has functioning MFIs or cooperatives. We are currently only working with MFIs and cooperatives in Latin America and the Caribbean, but are starting to think about how this model could be used in other contexts and settings.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

We hope that our partners will be reaching well over 100,000 people with quality, sustainable health services. We also hope that we have six partners that have demonstrated the ability to provide high-quality, low-cost health services sustainably at scale (we define scale as reaching at least 50% of their client base).

Improving quality in Namibia's public hospitals:A transformative leadership approach to increased access by general populations

Explique sobre o que trata a "inovação”; por exemplo, é uma idéia e/ou um modelo que você usa para concretizar uma idéia, ou talvez seria sua compreensão da população-alvo, etc?

With a current estimated population of 2.2 million people, a land mass of 825,418sq km and a population density of 2.5/sq km, access to quality and affordable health care services in Namibia is very challenging. The country also operates one of the most expensive health care service delivery model in the world in which government bears the cost of transporting, lodging and feeding a good number of the 87% of its citizens from the remote hinterland settlements that patronize government health facilities. Katutura State and Windhoek Central Hospitals are the flagship public hospitals in Namibia. Both hospitals combined serve 20% of the entire population of the country. The quality of health services is very poor following the surge in the population they serve and many years of poor management and gaps in infrastructural development. Our innovation in both hospitals revolves around a facility led and owned patient centered approach to quality improvement. It involves the use of data to explore the relationship between quality of services (dependent variable) and the application of leading and managing practices, patient perception of quality and the work climate (independent variables). Our holistic and demand driven approach to tackling the pervasive and seemingly intractable poor quality of health services help the facilities apply participatory diagnostic tools that identify the root causes of their poor services delivery and focus improvement actions on critical triggers that create positive ripple effects across the major facility systems and improve access.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Previous attempts at addressing the problem of access to quality of services in both hospitals adopted a vertical approach with emphasis on improving quality of HIV and AIDS/TB services. This approach eventually led to fragmentation of the overall facility systems. We address the problem through a holistic and patient-centered approach. By combining the successful continuous quality improvement program of a local indigenous organization with the equally successful leadership and management development program of Management Sciences for Health, we have developed a Quality Improvement and Leadership Program (QIL). It is implemented in all departments of the hospitals to improve access to better patient safety, quality of care across the facilities and increased patient satisfaction.

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

It can be successful in any health facility that is looking to institutionalizing continuous quality improvement. Some factors critical to the successful implementation are:
1. Buy-in to the process at the relevant leadership levels - this includes not just the hospital management team and staff, but by the Ministry of Health and other necessary line ministries and departments.
2. Integration of eight leading and managing practices (scanning, focusing, planning, organizing, aligning and mobilizing, implementing, inspiring and monitoring and evaluating) into the continuous quality improvement process
3. Workgroup-centered approach to work - makes it possible for teams to face challenges and achieve their desired improvement goals in conditions as complex as those in health facilities

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

Any meaningful and successful work with Ministries of Health requires that one constantly innovations in order to address the myriad of obstacles that are bound to emerge. The QIL program design is a broad outline. The real value is in the implementers awareness of the constantly changing landscape and their ability to adapt and improvise to overcome them within the overall framework for achieve the institutionalization of continuous quality improvement. Besides the mandatory reflection and feedback to facilities and Ministry of Health, at the heart of the QIL Program is the use of data for: a. monitoring progress in the achievement of quality improvement by health facilities b. continuous learning and innovation to improve the design of the program itself.

Por favor, descreva mais detalhadamente: qual problema você está tentando resolver no contexto específico da organização?

The general population in Namibia faces a number of barriers to accessing quality of care including cost. Only the well-offs and those with medical aid are able to access quality health services in private practice. The results of a recent assessment of the quality of care we conducted in the two largest hospitals patronized by 87% of the population painted a very grim picture. Both health facilities were discovered to be non-complaint to internationally acceptable standards of care in all but one of the service elements including such critical services as infection control, patient resuscitation amongst others. Yet, the general population is left with both these facilities as their main options.

Por favor, descreva sua solução mais detalhadamente

We are about reducing unnecessary near misses and deaths by increasing access to quality health care services for the general population by: A. improvement of the health facilities quality of care in order for them to be accredited as meeting internationally acceptable standards of care. B. institutionalize a process for continuous quality improvement in order for them to maintain their accreditation. We have began doing this with various bespoke interventions for the health facility managers, front-line facility staff and the various key stakeholders including the Ministry of Health and relevant line ministries and departments respectively.

Qual é sua visão e objetivos gerais?

In addition to the vision of a "Namibia where the general population is assured of internationally accredited quality of health services by 2015" other long term objectives include to:
A. Sustains the delivery of improved health care services
B. Strengthen organisational systems that lead to improvement in facility performance
C. Improve leadership and management practices that lead to improved performance of the facilities according to the international health services standards
D. Improve work climate in the facility that provides an enabling environment to provide and receive quality services
E. Increase the number of individuals that can lead and manage health projects

Qual é sua proposta de valor?

Working in partnership with the Council for Health Service Accreditation of Southern Africa (COHSASA) we have combined our Leadership Development Program (LDP) and their Quality Improvement (QI) program into an integrated Quality Improvement and Leadership Program (QIL). QIL is about improving the quality of care and service delivery within health care facilities. Our value proposition is the implementation of the QIL Program in a manner that facilitates sustainable access to quality of care and services to the general population in Namibia. We are currently implementing a regional program which gives us the advantage of applying lessons learnt from various countries for the benefit of one particular country. We reflect the saying that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Quem são seus clientes?

Our direct customers are the two facilities in which the QIL program is being implemented . Our indirect customers include the Namibia Ministry of Health and Social Services - that request for our support and the Namibia Mission of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) - that provided funding for the program. However, we can be contracted directly by either a health facility or the Ministry of Health.

Quais abordagens você usa para alcançar seus clientes?

We have a vibrant communication of results strategy in place. It ranges from one on one promotion of the results of our work with key officials in the Ministry of Health and USAID to strategic alliances with intergovernmental organizations such as the East, Central and Southern Africa - Health Community (ECSA-HC) http://www.ecsa.or.tz/

Quais sãos suas atividades principais?

MSH supports universal health coverage for all, especially for the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. We work toward equitable access to essential health services at an affordable cost for all.

It applies its health systems strengthening approach through:
A. Capacity Building - strengthen local individuals and institutions and foster local leadership through program implementation and support
B. Innovation - develop and scale up health systems innovations
C. Evidence - contribute to and apply the global health evidence base
D. Advocacy - advocate at national, regional, and global levels for universal health coverage and specific unmet needs.
We apply these practices at all levels - from household to community to health facility to national authorities.

Quem são seus pares e concorrentes? Quais problemas esses atores poderiam representar para seu sucesso e crescimento?

Our peers include other international Non-governmental organizations such as:
1. Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF)
2. FHI 360
3. IntraHealth International
4. John Snow, Inc. (JSI)
5. Joint Oxfam Programme

9. Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PFSCM)
10. Pathfinder International
11. Reproductive and Child Health Alliance (RACHA)
12. TB Alliance
13. University Research Co., LLC (URC)
Because the QIL program is currently in the public domain, any of these organizations can adapt it for their use for the common good. However, our long standing niche in leadership, management and governance will continue to give us the innovative edge to continuously develop the QIL program

Quais outros desafios – individuais, organizacionais ou de meio ambiente – você atualmente enfrenta ou poderiam impedir o futuro sucesso do seu negócio e como você pretende superá-los?

One of the most critical organizational challenges we face is that the program is funded on a yearly basis by USAID. This makes planning and the commitment of resources very difficult. It must also be mentioned that the recent classification of Namibia from a lower to an upper-middle income economy has necessitated USAID to adopt a decreasing funding strategy. There is there for no guarantee of the size of future funding available to us for the project. We plan to address this challenge be encouraging the Namibia government to fund the QIL program either in part or in full.

Descreva brevemente sua estratégia de crescimento futuro

Issues of health facility quality improvement are pervasive in Southern Africa the current geographic focus of our project. By demonstrating sound results with the help of our formidable communications unit from this pilot, we hope to scale up QIL program both in Namibia and to other countries in the region. The government of Lesotho and USAID Mission there have indicated interest in the program

Nova(s) região(ões), Novo(s) mercado(s)/país(es).

O que faz o seu negócio estar “pronto” para crescer?

We have developed the program to a level where it can be readily adapted for implementation in a government led setting in Southern Africa. With operational project offices in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland and a regional coordination office in South Africa, we have the necessary project management infrastructure including experienced staff in place to facilitate growth.

Quais são seus objetivos-chave de crescimento?

Our overarching growth objective is to increase access to quality heath care services by their general populations in 10 out of the 13 countries that make up Southern Africa. We hope to do this in a manner that addresses their common health challenges and to the extent possible strengthen in-country referral systems.

Qual é o seu prazo para crescimento, no curto e médio prazo? Quais são as metas de crescimento e atividades-chave futuros?

Present and implementing the QIL program in the remaining 4 of our presence countries by 2015. Expand our presence to an additional 4 countries - Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe by 2020

IMPACTO SOCIAL

Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?

We have being implementing a similar QIL Program in Botswana since 2010 with very impressive levels of success. 2 out of the 5 hospitals should be accredited around September 2013. The remaining hospitals though they will not be accredited due to some structural issues that needs to be addressed by relevant line ministries and departments in Botswana, they have all demonstrated very impressive improvements in their quality of care from a overall baseline average scores of around 39.3 out of 80 points for accreditation in 2010 to a overall average scores of 73 points in 2013. These translate to increased access to improved quality of care to the general population.

Quais métodos de quantificação de impacto social você está usando (se alguma)?

As a lesson learnt from the Botswana experience we have incorporated patient satisfaction surveys into the QIL program in Namibia. As part of the QIL program inception activities, we conduct a baseline survey of patient satisfaction. We will implement conduct annual follow-up surveys using the same patients to the extent possible to determine and quantify impact. We will also tract media reports to see if reports of unnecessary near misses and deaths are on the decline.

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Yes. It will work in any health care facility whether government or private in any part of the world.

Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 1 - 3 anos?

In Namibia we see our impact at the level of increasing access to improved quality of care to at least 600,000 Namibians in non and specialized services, including obstetric/maternity care, Pediatric care, oncology, radiation oncology and nuclear medicine, psychiatry and allied services,

MobiStine is about developing a new interactive mobile solution for the Arab World (population: 380 M) Trusted healthcare applications (apps) for new parents in Arabic language. The apps will be fully talking and interactive with alerts, reminders, daily tips, daily exercise, nutrition guide, sexual guide, etc. We will include for the first time in the Arabic market, a new technology which is Human Sense Detection, to help the pregnant avoid doing any risky actions and help the doctor later to diagnostic her case in accurate way.
The apps will include GPS to locate the nearest medical clinic, pharmacy, targeted shopping centers related to pregnancy and baby stuff, etc. In addition, we will build Arabic language healthcare social network to act as support group for parents to share their experience. We will introduce for the first time, MobiCare, which is a rating system, where pregnant or new parents can write reviews and rate the service they got from the medical clinics and hence, we will change the world and change the culture as we will make medical clinics compete between each other to provide better healthcare services for new parents in specific and the community as a whole!.
Our apps will be of two models, paid apps and free apps to enable the maximum number of new parents use our apps and get benefited from.
We have partnership with leading medical and healthcare institutions.
In English, there are over 150 apps but in Arabic there are only 5 very simple & static apps! Arab new parents is our first segment, however, we will move to other languages later.

Descreva como o seu modelo de inovação é diferente de qualquer outra organização na sua área.

Currently, MobiStine is first and only company in MENA specialized in developing Arabic language trusted healthcare apps on smartphone. We will also introduce for the first time in the Arabic market, human sense technology for pregnant to avoid doing any risky or unhealthily actions during their work or even while sleeping (gives immediate alerts). We will include GPS to locate the nearest medical clinic, doctors, pharmacy, etc. We will include also (through GPS) shopping centers related to pregnancy and baby stuff. Beside all, we will build dedicated healthcare social network (in Arabic) to act as support group.

In short, our solution will be a one-stop shop, everything related to new parents needs!

Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?

The new parents by nature are inexperienced couples and they lack trusted healthcare info related to their new lifestyle. Arab culture is different, the couples feel shy to talk or ask about pregnancy stuff, hence, the apps will be a great wizard for them.

We have a great Advisory Board of gynecologist, maternity hospitals, healthcare institutions, business and marketing stuff and others who will add a great value to the solutions we provide.

Como você garante que inova constantemente à luz de (potenciais) desafios externos, ou do seu plano de crescimento?

The biggest problem in the Arab market is the huge shortage and lack of Arabic content on the web which equals to <3% only while Arabic is the 5th language on the internet.
We will have a continuous R&D team to keep updating our offering and adding new technology and features to make sure we are ahead of our competitors. Currently, we have over 25 Apps on iTunes, so we have a solid experience, we are pretty sure, we can be always better and ahead of others. We have plans for hundreds of features to include in our solutions even the English apps do not have such features. Our main assets are our great team who is working together hard and do believe we can do it.

The big one is Arabic language over the English ones.
Existing Arab competitors currently address only one or 2 aspects of MobiStine value proposition. Competitors include: Few Arab individual developers, Health websites and very few smartphone apps.

We are the first company in MENA to be specialized in developing Trusted Arabic healthcare apps. We have an agreement with leading international medical associations, so data is trusted and accurate.

As for the competitors: There are very few Arabic trusted healthcare websites, they are not even designed for mobile use and so, they may pose some minor problems if they decide to do a mobile version, however they are general ones and not focused on the new parents as ours

If the (few) Arabic healthcare websites or individuals decide to create a smartphone apps in Arabic for new parents, however, as we are currently the first and only company specialized in this, so first comer is first winner, also, it is not easy to establish partnerships with leading medical organizations to make the apps fully trusted and accredited. In addition, we have a solid advisory board with R&D to keep enhancing and creating more value and benefit to our users especially we have developed over 25 smartphone apps and so we learned a lot in terms of user experience and how to attract users.

Currently, we have developed over 25 apps in Arabic in health and personal use and we have hundreds of thousands of users who are using our apps. Some of our existing apps were among top 5 (in fact the first of the top 5) paid medical apps in Kuwait and top 5 free lifestyle apps in Saudi Arabis (KSA).

Sua solução poderia funcionar em outras locais ou regiões? Se sim, onde?

Sure, we did a market research and decided to start with the new parents apps in Arabic market since it is a niche and untapped market as there are no similar apps exist. Once we are done with the Arabic segment (market) we will partner with local selected organization ((for culture issues)) to duplicate our solution in other languages and will start with the most needed and untapped countries/ market. So, we could have our apps localized into multiple languages including English, to make other nations benefited.

- Reduce the risky and unhealthy practices by pregnant women.
- Provide better healthcare services by medical centers.

During the last 19 months, it has been self financed. Currently, we are talking with potential investors who showed interest to invest and partner with us to make this happen. We are exploring different options and once we decide and choose the right investor (who will provide added value service beside the money), we will start immediately.

On the WORST scenario, if we did not get investment, I will execute my crazy backup plan.. do you want to hear it? well, it is to sell my home, yes sell my home and I told my family once we succeeded (and we will), I will buy you a palace in stead of the flat. I know it is crazy but I will go for it as I do belief in it!!

We got a grant of $ 5K in cache after winning with a business plan, other than that, we never had a cache money. However, we got some in-kind support it terms of training, consultation and alike.

Fale mais sobre os itens selecionados; explique como você vai manter o financiamento.

We will have more investors to come in as we gave share and equity. However, we will need just one year (after the development) to get the breakeven point and later we will be having revenues which should cover the expenses and have enough net income.
But our door is always opened for investors and new ideas moving into new segment or localizing the apps into other language since it will cost us very little since the core data and technology already there.
