Inova\u00e7\u00e3o em sa\u00fade materna no Qu\u00eania<\/strong> \u00e9 fundamental para reduzir a 5.000 mortes maternas<\/strong> que ocorrem anualmente devido a complica\u00e7\u00f5es relacionadas \u00e0 gravidez e ao parto. Para enfrentar essa crise, nosso parceiro Fundo M\u00e9dico e Educacional de Kisumu (KMET)<\/a> lan\u00e7ou o Centro de Inova\u00e7\u00f5es em Sa\u00fade Materna<\/strong>-uma empresa social dedicada a melhoria dos cuidados maternos<\/strong> atrav\u00e9s de tecnologias que salvam vidas e solu\u00e7\u00f5es voltadas para a comunidade<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Em 2016, a KMET lan\u00e7ou o Centro de Inova\u00e7\u00f5es em Sa\u00fade Materna<\/strong>, A empresa social que aborda os fatores sist\u00eamicos da alta mortalidade materna, incluindo grave escassez de suprimentos de sa\u00fade<\/strong> e um falta de profissionais de sa\u00fade qualificados<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

O Centro produz, estoca e distribui<\/strong> produtos m\u00e9dicos essenciais para os programas da KMET e para venda a instala\u00e7\u00f5es m\u00e9dicas, ag\u00eancias governamentais e parceiros internacionais. A empresa tamb\u00e9m aprimorou um tecnologia de baixo custo e que salva vidas<\/strong>-a tamponamento uterino com bal\u00e3o (UBT)<\/a>-que \u00e9 altamente eficaz para interromper hemorragia p\u00f3s-parto<\/strong>, A doen\u00e7a, uma das principais causas de uma em cada tr\u00eas mortes maternas<\/strong> no pa\u00eds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\u201cO Center \u00e9 uma empresa social de alto impacto, baseada em evid\u00eancias, que est\u00e1 enraizada em solu\u00e7\u00f5es locais para melhorar a sa\u00fade da mulher. Como uma organiza\u00e7\u00e3o local, nossos mercados e p\u00fablicos-alvo nos conhecem e confiam em n\u00f3s, o que ajuda enormemente a promover nossas causas.\u201d\r\n- John Okere, diretor executivo adjunto da KMET<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Em 2023, a KMET participou de Laborat\u00f3rio de Inova\u00e7\u00e3o e Empresa Social do F\u00f2s Feminista<\/a> para ampliar ainda mais seu impacto. O Laborat\u00f3rio forneceu suporte de marketing e vendas<\/strong> para ajudar a lan\u00e7ar um novo plataforma de com\u00e9rcio eletr\u00f4nico<\/strong>, O Centro est\u00e1 se expandindo para mercados mais amplos. O Centro projeta que esse novo canal de vendas quadruplicar\u00e1 a receita<\/strong>, O Centro de Sa\u00fade Materna da Calif\u00f3rnia, nos Estados Unidos, aumentou significativamente o acesso a essas inova\u00e7\u00f5es em sa\u00fade materna. At\u00e9 o momento, o Centro j\u00e1 distribuiu 30.000 kits UBT<\/strong> para 8 pa\u00edses<\/strong> e 31 condados no Qu\u00eania<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Por Comercializa\u00e7\u00e3o de kits UBT<\/strong> e outros suprimentos, incluindo absorventes menstruais reutiliz\u00e1veis<\/strong> e produtos nutricionais<\/strong>-O Centro estima que tenha salvou mais de 2.400 vidas<\/strong>. O lucro gerado \u00e9 reinvestido em sua miss\u00e3o, inclusive por meio da \u201cSisterhood for Change\u201d (Irmandade para a Mudan\u00e7a)\u201d<\/strong> programa, que emprega mulheres e meninas em situa\u00e7\u00f5es vulner\u00e1veis<\/strong> para montar kits UBT, criando um ciclo de capacita\u00e7\u00e3o econ\u00f4mica<\/strong> ligado aos cuidados maternos.<\/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\/pt\/news-and-stories\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"pt_BR\" \/>\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\/pt\/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\":\"pt-BR\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/fosfeminista.org\\\/news-and-stories\\\/maternal-health-innovation-in-kenya\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"pt-BR\",\"@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.
