Global One 2015's mobile maternal health programme, which serves pregnant women, mothers, children under five and the gynaecological problems of women between pregnancies and older women, is currently operating in Delta state, in southern Nigeria. The programme is being delivered locally by the Red Cross. The focus of the programme is on at-risk rural women with significant obstacles that prevent them receiving maternal healthcare for antenatal, child birth and post-child birth (puerperium) stages, as well as between pregnancy gynaecology care. By at-risk is meant women with symptoms and/or other features that make it likely for them to die in pregnancy, child birth, or after child birth, or to have severe ill health (severe morbidity), and to equally risk the death of the unborn child or predispose the child to ill health and/or death after birth. The programme will identify these women and get them the specialised healthcare they require. The programme is a pilot, which will be scaled up depending on the willingness of new donors to come on board for an extended programme.
