Strengthening care across the
maternal and newborn hospital journey.
High impact points
along the care pathway
Each of the following icons represents a body of clinical work developed and evaluated by Kybele in partnership with in-country teams. They are examples of what Kybele brings to a specific stage of the care journey – not a prescribed package. Where a country’s most urgent need is triage, Kybele starts there. Where it is newborn resuscitation, we start there.
