No mother or baby should die from preventable causes related to pregnancy or childbirth.

WHAT WE DO

We provide Congolese communities with affordable, quality healthcare to ensure that the infant and the mother can live a long and healthy life. We educate and train highly motivated nurse midwives who can deliver quality healthcare to reduce maternal and infant mortality. PROSAMI also oversees an infant / maternal hospital in the heart of Mbuji-Mayi, in DRC
