Founded in 2006, MaiKhanda (meaning mother and neonate in a local dialect, Chichewa) works to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality by 30 percent in Kasungu, Lilongwe, and Salima districts by 2012. IHI has partnered with The Health Foundation, Institute of Child Health at University College London, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, and Women and Children First to meet these goals. MaiKhanda works closely with communities to ensure that improvements are positive and sustainable.
