Among other challenges, local health facilities lack the basic equipment, devices, or supplies needed for delivering quality services for maternal newborn & child health (MNCH). Other facilities may have some of the necessary items but in gross disrepair therefore rendering them inefficient. This calls for a rising demand for more innovation in order to improvise and apply creative ideas to save lives.
