ARMMAN is planning a pilot project in select government hospitals in Mumbai to empower and support pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies. While only 20-30% of pregnancies can be classified as high risk, they account for 70-80% of maternal and neonatal deaths. Empowering these pregnant women with targeted preventive care information and hand-holding can help them look after themselves better and anticipate problems and seek care early, thereby reducing the chances of severe complications, including death. Pilot participants will receive targeted information about their high-risk conditions via WhatsApp, along with additional digital and call-based hand-holding support for better management of these conditions. The aim of the DMP project is to develop a new flow designed to simplify the delivery of information on various aspects of high-risk pregnancies based on the insights and challenges identified during the research
