Our Innovations
Turning Evidence Into National Health System Change
Hospital-to-Home (H2H) Initiative
Across many low- and middle-income countries, life-saving health solutions often fail to reach the communities that need them most — not because the ideas are ineffective, but because health systems lack scalable, sustainable ways to implement them.
At the Makerere University Centre of Excellence for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH), we focus on solving that challenge.
Our innovations are designed beyond the pilot stage. We generate, test, and scale practical solutions that strengthen real-world health systems — from hospitals and district networks to community delivery platforms and national policy frameworks.
By combining implementation science, digital innovation, workforce strengthening, and frontline service delivery, we help governments and partners adopt approaches that improve maternal, newborn, and child health outcomes at scale.
