Digitising maternal and child health tracking across Meghalaya
MOTHER – Meghalaya’s Outcome Oriented Transformation Initiative
In partnership with the National Health Mission, Government of Meghalaya, CDFI built and deployed the MOTHER platform, a digital system to track maternal and child health outcomes across the state. By digitising pregnancy registration, vaccination tracking, and field reporting, the platform gives health officials real-time visibility into what is happening on the ground, enabling faster decisions and stronger accountability across Meghalaya's public health system.

WHAT WE BUILT
National Health Mission, Government of Meghalaya CDFI developed the MOTHER mobile app and analytics dashboards to digitise key workflows across Meghalaya's health system. Field workers register pregnancies, track vaccinations, and report outcomes directly from the field. State and district officials access real-time dashboards to monitor progress, identify gaps, and plan targeted interventions. The platform now supports health, nutrition, and rural development programs across the state.
