Innovation en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 maternelle au Kenya<\/strong> est essentielle pour r\u00e9duire la 5 000 d\u00e9c\u00e8s maternels<\/strong> qui surviennent chaque ann\u00e9e en raison de complications li\u00e9es \u00e0 la grossesse et \u00e0 l'accouchement. Pour faire face \u00e0 cette crise, notre partenaire Kisumu Medical and Education Trust (KMET)<\/a> a lanc\u00e9 le Centre d'innovation en sant\u00e9 maternelle<\/strong>-une entreprise sociale qui se consacre \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer les soins maternels<\/strong> \u00e0 travers des technologies qui sauvent des vies et des solutions ax\u00e9es sur la communaut\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

En 2016, la KMET a lanc\u00e9 le Centre d'innovation en sant\u00e9 maternelle<\/strong>, La Fondation pour la sant\u00e9 maternelle, une entreprise sociale qui s'attaque aux causes syst\u00e9miques d'une mortalit\u00e9 maternelle \u00e9lev\u00e9e, y compris graves p\u00e9nuries de fournitures m\u00e9dicales<\/strong> et un le manque de professionnels de la sant\u00e9 qualifi\u00e9s<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Le Centre produit, stocke et distribue<\/strong> des produits m\u00e9dicaux essentiels pour les programmes du KMET et pour la vente aux \u00e9tablissements m\u00e9dicaux, aux agences gouvernementales et aux partenaires internationaux. Elle a \u00e9galement mis au point un une technologie peu co\u00fbteuse qui permet de sauver des vies<\/strong>-Le tamponnement ut\u00e9rin par ballonnet (UBT)<\/a>-qui est tr\u00e8s efficace pour arr\u00eater h\u00e9morragie du post-partum<\/strong>, une des principales causes de un d\u00e9c\u00e8s maternel sur trois<\/strong> dans le pays.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\u201cLe Centre est une entreprise sociale \u00e0 fort impact, fond\u00e9e sur des donn\u00e9es probantes, qui s'appuie sur des solutions locales pour am\u00e9liorer la sant\u00e9 des femmes. En tant qu'organisation locale, nos march\u00e9s et publics cibles nous connaissent et nous font confiance, ce qui contribue \u00e9norm\u00e9ment \u00e0 faire avancer nos causes.\u201d\r\n- John Okere, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral adjoint de KMET<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

En 2023, KMET a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 Laboratoire d'innovation et d'entreprise sociale de F\u00f2s Feminista<\/a> afin de renforcer son impact. Le laboratoire a fourni soutien au marketing et \u00e0 la vente<\/strong> pour contribuer au lancement d'une nouvelle plateforme de commerce \u00e9lectronique<\/strong>, L'objectif est d'\u00e9tendre la port\u00e9e du Centre \u00e0 des march\u00e9s plus vastes. Le Centre pr\u00e9voit que cette le nouveau canal de vente quadruplera les recettes<\/strong>, L'objectif est d'am\u00e9liorer l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 ces innovations dans le domaine de la sant\u00e9 maternelle. Jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent, le Centre a distribu\u00e9 30 000 kits UBT<\/strong> \u00e0 8 pays<\/strong> et 31 comt\u00e9s au Kenya<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Par commercialiser les kits UBT<\/strong> et d'autres fournitures, y compris serviettes hygi\u00e9niques r\u00e9utilisables<\/strong> et produits nutritionnels<\/strong>-Le Centre estime qu'il a a sauv\u00e9 plus de 2 400 vies<\/strong>. Les b\u00e9n\u00e9fices g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9s sont r\u00e9investis dans leur mission, notamment par le biais de la \u201cSisterhood for Change\u201d (S\u0153urs pour le changement)\u201d<\/strong> Le programme, qui emploie les femmes et les filles en situation de vuln\u00e9rabilit\u00e9<\/strong> d'assembler des kits UBT, cr\u00e9ant ainsi une cycle d'autonomisation \u00e9conomique<\/strong> li\u00e9s aux soins maternels.<\/p>","":null,"anchor_id":""}}]},"yoast_head":"\nMaternal Health Innovation in Kenya - F\u00f2s Feminista<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"KMET is driving maternal health innovation in Kenya, tackling maternal mortality with lifesaving technologies and local solutions.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fosfeminista.org\/fr\/news-and-stories\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Maternal Health Innovation in Kenya - F\u00f2s Feminista\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"KMET is driving maternal health innovation in Kenya, tackling maternal mortality with lifesaving technologies and local solutions.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/fosfeminista.org\/fr\/news-and-stories\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"F\u00f2s Feminista\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-09-30T04:11:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/fosfeminista.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-24-at-18.53.03.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1066\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/\",\"name\":\"Maternal Health Innovation in Kenya - F\u00f2s Feminista\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/02\\\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-24-at-18.53.03.jpeg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-02-25T03:05:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-09-30T04:11:33+00:00\",\"description\":\"KMET is driving maternal health innovation in Kenya, tackling maternal mortality with lifesaving technologies and local solutions.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"fr-FR\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"fr-FR\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/02\\\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-24-at-18.53.03.jpeg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/02\\\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-24-at-18.53.03.jpeg\",\"width\":1600,\"height\":1066,\"caption\":\"Assembly of UBT kits by participants of KMET\u2019s \u201cSisterhood for Change\u201d program, which offers reproductive health, vocational, and life-skills training to women and girls.
