In January 2025, Neotree reported a significant increase in the uptake of the Golden Hour project by midwives in the labour ward at Sally Mugabe Central Hospital, with adoption rates rising from 43% to 80%. The project is designed to strengthen the implementation of critical newborn interventions within the first hour of life, a period known to have a significant impact on reducing neonatal mortality.
Neotree’s facilitator, Rachel Poffley, emphasized that this progress reflects growing engagement with the initiative and expressed optimism that uptake will continue to rise as these life-saving practices become embedded into routine care. Rachel stated, “We are working closely with the team to ensure these actions become standard practice going forward.”
Neotree is an innovative digital platform that supports healthcare workers in neonatal care by providing real-time clinical decision support, data collection, and training.
