IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note that CAI has a new name: MCAI (Maternal & Childhealth Advocacy International). We are changing our name to include the word maternal. This reflects the work that we do to improve the healthcare of pregnant women.
 MCAI (Maternal & Childhealth Advocacy International) is a charity dedicated to saving the lives of pregnant women, children and babies in countries where there is poor healthcare. Our volunteer senior doctors, midwives and nurses work with, support and train local health workers. We work in and advocate for hospitals and the community, integrating their work to improve and achieve sustainable healthcare.
Each year 4 million babies die worldwide within their first month of life and 1 in 26 women die during childbirth in Africa. With improved training, care, equipment and advocacy many deaths will be prevented.
MCAI helps health services in disadvantaged countries to improve the treatment they can offer to children and pregnant mothers:
-
MCAI designs and delivers training in emergency treatment of children and mothers, appropriate for hospitals and clinics with modest resources.
-
MCAI runs outreach services which take hospital clinics out into the community where families can reach them.
-
MCAI re-equips paediatric wards
-
MCAI projects treat a variety of life-threatening health problems
