Needs Impact Assessment Carried out in Mubende District, Kiyuni Health Center III, with UNFPA

During the Up Accelerate program by UNFPA, M-SCAN  carried out a needs impact assessment to explore on the challenges faced by pregnant women of  Kiyuni village, Mubende district regarding access to ultrasound.

A turn of 97 women were interviewed and the results amazing! The majority, 69.1% of the women had never heard of ultrasound and the rest had ever heard of the modality.  Among the respondents in regard to money required for an ultrasound, only 18.6%  could afford the 10,000/- required for an ultrasound scan, the rest 81.4% cant afford the 10,000/-. The 81.4% of the women said they can afford less than 5000/=

As evidenced from the survey, game changing solutions such as M-SCAN can be pivotal to bring the gap between pregnant mothers and the access of ultrasound services that are affordable, power efficient and yet still very effective.
