Let's invest in our girls, they bring richness perspective into our society, let's amplify their voices, encourage their dreams and champion their success. #BacktoschoolwithDignity @MaonoAfrica @DandoraJustice

Health is a right, not a privilege. Article 43 guarantees every woman the highest standard of health. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
We must support mothers living with disabilities, HIV, or chronic illness with tailored maternal care that acknowledges and meets their unique needs. Inclusion is not optional. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
A mother shouldn’t count coins when contractions start.A baby shouldn’t wait while a bill is raised. Let SHA mean real coverage no hidden costs, no co-payments, no more lives lost. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto @HennetKenya @SamashaUg @MOH_Kenya @PMNCH @InformAction_KE @Twaweza_Ke
Let’s create maternal waiting homes near hospitals for women in high-risk pregnancies, especially in remote areas. Being near help when it matters most can make the difference between life and death. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
No mother should die giving life. It’s not just a health issue—it’s a human rights issue. Safe pregnancy and delivery must be guaranteed, not a gamble based on location or income. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
Mothers deserve care with dignity, not just delivery. Trust grows when communities are heard and respected. SHA must ensure dignity, accountability, and feedback. @SamashaUg @MOH_Kenya @PMNCH @HennetKenya #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto @AYARHEP_KENYA
Cover antenatal care, skilled delivery, postnatal care, newborn services, family planning, nutrition, and emergency obstetric care. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
Safe motherhood starts with affordable care. Let’s end the burden on vulnerable families and ensure equity in health services. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
Ensure SHA packages include diagnostics (lab tests, ultrasounds), medication, blood transfusions, and ambulance services. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
Extend SHA to cover neonatal intensive care (incubators, phototherapy, oxygen) and immunizations beyond birth. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
It’s heartbreaking that a moment meant for joy (giving birth) has become a time of fear and sadness for many families. Instead of celebration, we worry about costs, delays, and survival #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto @HennetKenya @SamashaUg @MOH_Kenya @PMNCH @nisisikenya @Twaweza_Ke
All pregnant women, regardless of income, disability, age, or legal status, should be automatically covered. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
Digital health tools can transform maternal care—reminders for antenatal visits, teleconsultations, and emergency hotlines. Let’s leverage technology to reach even the most remote mothers. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto

Let’s not forget refugee and displaced mothers. They face high risks and limited access to care. Humanitarian response must prioritize maternal health in every crisis situation. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
Men must be included in maternal health conversations. When partners understand what women go through, they can support better—from clinic visits to emotional care during pregnancy and childbirth. #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto
Frontline health workers hold the pieces together. Let’s stop excluding them from SHA decisions. Their lived experience is a blueprint for better systems.@SamashaUg @MOH_Kenya @PMNCH @HennetKenya #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto @AYARHEP_KENYA

Don’t just roll out data tools—build grassroots capacity to use them. Community health volunteers can track maternal deaths, service delays & discrimination if empowered.@SamashaUg @MOH_Kenya @PMNCH @HennetKenya #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto @AYARHEP_KENYA
Zero preventable maternal deaths. Means: Political will, community action, well-funded health systems, and empowered health workers @SamashaUg @MOH_Kenya @PMNCH @HennetKenya #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto @AYARHEP_KENYA

Every woman deserves to give birth safely. Every newborn deserves a chance at life. We urge county & national governments to prioritize maternal & newborn health in all development plans.@SamashaUg @MOH_Kenya @PMNCH @HennetKenya #AfyaKilaMamaKilaMtoto @AYARHEP_KENYA
