Maternal Health

Regular antenatal check-ins are important — but for many women in rural and peri-urban areas of East Africa, the journey to a facility is a significant barrier. Zuri Health provides digital antenatal and postnatal support, connecting expectant and new mothers with practitioners by app, WhatsApp, or SMS. Between in-person visits, you have a practitioner you can reach.

Services available

• Antenatal check-in consultations via app, WhatsApp, or SMS
• Guidance on nutrition, symptoms to watch for, and warning signs during pregnancy
• Postnatal support for new mothers — feeding questions, recovery concerns, newborn care
• SMS reminder programme for scheduled antenatal appointments
• Referral to an in-person facility for any concern requiring physical examination or emergency care

What digital care does not replace

Zuri Health does not provide delivery care or replace in-person antenatal visits. Our practitioners support and supplement in-person care — they will always direct you to a physical facility when a situation requires it. If you are not sure whether your concern needs in-person attention, reach out and ask. That is what the service is for.
