Muso provide proactive health care to 350,000 patients in peri-urban and rural Mali, and embed rigorous academic research and strategic advocacy to identify and share strategies that can accelerate global efforts for child survival, maternal health, and universal health care. Muso believes no one should die waiting for health care. That’s why we’ve set out to create a cure for delay. We build health systems to save lives by reaching patients faster, within hours of the moment they become sick. To do this, we partner with communities facing extreme poverty.
Muso has spent more than a decade creating and improving their Proactive Care model, preparing it to serve the global effort for universal health care. They have documented rapid health improvements across the populations they serve: a 2018 study found that communities they serve in Mali, which previously saw some of the world’s highest child mortality rates, sustained child mortality rates lower than any country in sub-Saharan Africa for five years, and ultimately reached a rate on par with that of the United States. Patient access to care increased tenfold. Muso now serves the governments of Mali and Cote d’Ivoire in their efforts to translate the results of this research into national policy and practice. Given the transformations in health care access and survival Muso has documented, over the next five years their direct service, research, and advocacy will work to advance a new global model for health care. This transformation requires an extraordinary team.
