Abena Ntim Asamoah on The Race to End Preventable Maternal Deaths in Africa

Abena Ntim Asamoah, Graduate Student at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, shared on LinkedIn:

”AI and Health in Africa: The Race to End Preventable Maternal Deaths

Across sub-Saharan Africa, pregnancy is still one of the most dangerous journeys a woman can take.

In some regions, more than 500 mothers die for every 100,000 live births — not because help doesn’t exist, but because the systems that should deliver it often fail.

In my latest article for Citi Newsroom ChannelOne TV , I explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mobile health innovations are changing this story — from Ghana to Kenya to Nigeria.

AI models are now detecting preeclampsia and hemorrhage risks early.

Apps are connecting expectant mothers to midwives in real time.

And digital health platforms are helping healthcare workers make faster, life-saving decisions.

But technology alone won’t fix the problem.

Without reliable power, internet connectivity, and training, even the best innovations will fade out before they make a real difference.

We must move from short-term pilot projects to long-term systems that save lives — ensuring every clinic has power, every midwife has digital support, and every mother has access to safe care.

Africa doesn’t lack innovation; it needs integration and intentional leadership.
