In Tanzania, 48,000 newborns die within the first month of life. It is estimated that over 25% of those deaths could be avoided by just ensuring babies stay enrolled in post-natal care. watotoCare is the answer. watotoCare enrolls newborns after birth and ensures that they receive the WHO-recommended 4 post-natal visits within the first 6 weeks of life.
