Strategic Narrative for Maternal Mortality Reduction (MMR)

Back to Documentation

The Core Message: We are not just a call center or a data project. We are a Maternal Emergency Response System that actively identifies women at risk of dying and forges the missing links in their chain of survival.

Pillar 1: Re-framing the Problem & Our Solution

[Chief Strategy Officer & Public Health Expert Hats]

We must educate our stakeholders. Maternal deaths are not random events; they are failures in a system. The "Three Delays" model explains these failures.

The Three Delays That Kill Mothers:
Delay 1: Seeking Care → Delay 2: Reaching Care → Delay 3: Receiving Quality Care

Our Solution: The AI-Powered "Chain of Survival"

Our program is the intelligent glue that holds this chain together:

AI-Powered Risk Identification: Our system doesn't just see "anemia"; it sees a woman at high risk for Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH). It doesn't just see "high BP"; it sees a precursor to Eclampsia.
Combating Delay 1 (Seeking Care): When an agent advises a woman with late-term pain to go to the hospital *immediately* (like Ujjwala in case 8830551187), they are directly fighting Delay 1 by creating urgency and providing clear direction.
Combating Delay 2 (Reaching Care): When agents confirm the emergency transport plan or help overcome financial barriers, they are directly fighting Delay 2.
Combating Delay 3 (Receiving Care): When agents ensure a severely anemic woman gets a blood transfusion *before* delivery (like in case 7387557849), they are directly fighting Delay 3 by delivering a more stable patient to the hospital, making the doctors' job easier and safer.

Pillar 2: The MMR-Focused Impact Dossier

[Chief Storyteller & Health Economist Hats]

Our entire reporting must be re-written to reflect this life-saving mission. The SROI calculation now includes the ultimate averted cost: a maternal death.

The New SROI Calculation:

In addition to averted NICU stays, we now add the most significant number:

Cost of a Maternal Death: This is complex, but economists calculate it based on lost economic productivity, the cost to society of raising motherless children, and direct healthcare costs. In the Indian context, this is a very large, powerful number (conservatively estimated in the tens of lakhs of rupees per event).
The New Claim: "Our analysis of the `Managed High Risk` cases shows that we directly intervened in [Number] cases with conditions that are leading causes of maternal death, such as severe pre-eclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage risk. Averting even a fraction of these potential deaths generates an SROI that is an order of magnitude higher than our operational costs."

The New "Anatomy of a Save" Page:

The case study page must be rewritten. Let's use case 9967887935.

Case Study: Averting an Eclamptic Crisis

Beneficiary: [Anonymized ID], 3rd Trimester

Presenting Risk: The system flagged a blood pressure reading of 170 mmHg.

The MMR Danger	Our Intervention (The Link in the Chain)	The Outcome
A BP of 170 indicates severe pre-eclampsia, which can rapidly progress to eclampsia (seizures), stroke, and maternal death. This is a life-threatening emergency.	Agent Janavi immediately followed up on the high-risk flag, ensuring the beneficiary sought medical attention for her abdominal pain and high BP. (Action against Delay 1).	The patient was managed medically, her blood pressure was stabilized, and she delivered a healthy baby. A potential maternal death was averted.

Pillar 3: The Re-aligned High-Stakes Briefing

[CEO & Head of Public Policy Hats]

Our 30-minute presentation to the Health Minister now has a single, powerful theme.

The New Presentation Flow:

The Hook (2 mins): Start with the "Why."

"Minister, every year in India, thousands of women die during childbirth. The vast majority of these deaths are not from rare diseases, but from preventable failures in a system—a failure to seek care, to reach care, or to receive care. Our program was designed to fix this broken chain."
The Solution (10 mins): Demonstrate the "Chain of Survival."

"Let me show we how. Here is the case of a woman with a blood pressure of 170... (walk through the eclampsia case). Here is the case of a woman with severe anemia... (walk through the PPH risk case). In each instance, our AI identifies the life-threatening risk, and our agent acts as the critical link, ensuring the mother gets the care she needs *before* it becomes a catastrophe."
The Evidence (10 mins): Show the Live Dashboard.

"This isn't just a few anecdotes. This is our live dashboard. As we can see, we have performed [Number] such direct, life-saving interventions this quarter alone. Each one of these is a potential maternal death averted. We can filter by risk type—here are all the potential eclampsia cases we managed, and here are all the potential hemorrhage cases."
The Investment & The Ask (8 mins): Frame it as a National Priority.

"Our SROI is significant when considering LBW, but when we factor in the economic and social cost of a single maternal death, the return on investment becomes astronomical. Our government has a stated goal of reducing MMR to [Target Number]. We have built the most efficient, scalable, and data-driven engine to help we achieve that goal. With a strategic investment of [The Ask], we can deploy this 'Maternal Emergency Response System' across the entire state."
