Data-driven reality
Les statistiques actuelles de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et de l'EDS (Enquête Démographique et de Santé) du Burundi indiquent un besoin crucial d'infrastructures médicales de qualité et de proximité
2.5 hrs+
Journey to surgery
Average travel time for rural families to reach a functioning surgical unit.
21 / 1000
Décès néonatals
Most deaths occur primarily due to a lack of specialized neonatal care.
52%
Chronic growth retardation
More than half of children in Burundi suffer from stunted growth, resulting from nutritional deficiencies in early life.
70%
Drug stockout
Healthcare facilities often face shortages of essential medicines, which drives up prices on the open market.
The neonatal crisis
Neonatal mortality remains a critical challenge.
For every 1,000 babies born in Burundi, 21 do not survive their first month. Most of these deaths are caused by birth asphyxia, prematurity, and infections—conditions that are 100% manageable with the right equipment and personnel.
HOW WE CHANGE THIS
Dedicated Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Incubators and phototherapy for premature infants.
Qualified midwives trained in emergency neonatal resuscitation.
