Mama Toto Care Uganda is a programme of Rotary Clubs of Uganda Ltd, bringing together Rotary and Rotaract clubs across Uganda with government, corporate and technical partners to advance maternal and newborn health.
Uganda has made important progress in improving the survival of mothers and newborns. Maternal mortality declined from 336 to 189 deaths per 100,000 live births between 2016 and 2022. Yet 189 mothers lost for every 100,000 live births remains a significant burden. Newborn survival has improved more slowly, with 22 newborn deaths for every 1,000 live births recorded in 2022.
These numbers represent mothers, babies and families—and they are why maternal and newborn health remains an important area of service for Rotary and Rotaract clubs in Uganda.
A maternal and newborn health project bringing together partners, Rotary clubs and health facilities to strengthen care and improve outcomes for mothers and newborns.
