Background of Development
In Malawi, the poorest country in the world, where the maternal mortality rate is 70 times higher than in Japan, we will establish a sustainable healthcare system and dramatically improve the maternal mortality rate and health checkup rate. We are launching a grand project to change the situation from "no medical care" to "medical care that runs on its own.
■Features
*Public health: Pregnancy health checkup uptake rate
In Malawi, the number of early pregnancy checkups and the number of pregnant women receiving checkups are low. We will send a pregnant women's checkup team to a doctorless village to increase the rate of checkups among pregnant women. Instead of having the pregnant women come to a medical facility, the examination team will go to the doctorless villages, which will increase the examination rate.
*Innovation:
SPAQ has been adopted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) as part of its "African Market Dynamics Capture Project (AfDX)". SPAQ has also been adopted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.

Sustainability: Social Businessness
We are considering to bring permanence (sustainability) to our medical activities by adopting social businessness. We are in contact with Grameen Trust, which was founded by Muhammad Yunus, a Nobel Prize-winning economist in the field of social business, and will introduce a micro-credit system in the future.
