MATERNAL NEONATAL AND CHILD HEALTH (MNCH) ACCELERATOR PROJECT
In 2024, CHAK in collaboration with Ecumenical Pharmaceutical Network (EPN) received a three- year grant to implement a maternal, neonatal and child health (MNCH) project.
The project aims at contributing to the reduction of Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Neonatal Mortality Rate (NMR) in Kenya by promoting access to high impact interventions and health products for maternal, neonatal and child health services.
