Research results In six months, Malawian hospital saved 2100 hours or travel time, saved $3,000 in fuel, responded to 150 emergency care requests, and doubled # of patients in TB treatment program. Also in Malawi, drug stock reporting improved from under 35% to over 80% across 10 districts. In our first prospective trial in Kilifi, Kenya, the clinical delivery rates had increased from a baseline of 20 deliveries per month to 48 clinical deliveries per month. Of these 48 deliveries, there were no maternal deaths, indicating that the mothers arrived in good time, and received quality treatment. In addition, the immunization rates for children referred from the target community increased from 18 children to 30 per month.. During the same trial, we recorded an average income per CHW per week of 150 KES, with an average cost per CHW of 5 KES per week, demonstrating a financially sustainable income generation model.
