This week I am talking to Maggie Ehrenfried, Managing Director, Development LifeNet International (@LNInternational). LifeNet International is an organization working hard across Sub Sharan and East Africa to change that. This non-profit which touts its incredible efficiency operates through an “amplification of local resource” model to build and strengthen in-country capacity in the healthcare delivery chain. They work in collaboration with other services to better equip nurses, and health workers with the right care skills to deliver safe high-quality care
How does an organization manage to amplify and produce such great results despite having the lowest cost per person for the services it delivers. They empower community healthcare workers and amplify and enable the existing services focusing on root cause analysis and identifying small incremental improvements that can be applied in challenging circumstances.
Listen in to find out more about their incremental approach to problem-solving, the importance of data and measurement and hear how poor quality is harming more patients than lack of access to healthcare and what they are doing about it
