TIP Global Health

E-Heza: TIPs E-Heza Data Solutions is a digital application that can be used on a smartphone or tablet designed by and for the frontline health worker. E-Heza captures essential data at the point of care to improve the health of mother and child by providing frontline health workers with immediate insights to help personalize information and advice, and help the mother track the well-being of her child. That data is automatically linked to the Ministry of Health database, providing timely and accurate data reports for better public health policy decision making. Since 2018, E-Heza has improved quality of care for over 112,000 mothers and children, and by 2023 will reach over 250,000 patients across Rwanda. With endorsement from Rwandas Minister of Health, TIP is working to scale E-Heza throughout Rwanda to serve as a foundation for all of primary care.

Aheza Fortified Food (AFF): provides consistent, affordable fortified porridge to hospitals, nongovernmental orgs, and community members while subsidizing the cost of free distribution to the highest risk children. Nutrition is an essential component of adequate primary care; health centers have long struggled with stock outs of fortified porridge and commercial products are often too expensive for rural families to access. AFF is a social enterprise established by TIP in 2015 to address stock outs of porridge needed to treat childhood malnutrition. Porridge is sold in bulk to NGOs, governments and social enterprises who then provide the porridge to their beneficiaries for free or low cost. Profits from Aheza sales subsidize the cost of free distribution of porridge to high risk children in Ruli. Since its launch in 2015, TIPs Aheza program has provided over 7 million servings of porridge to over 100,000 Rwandans, 95% of whom are high-risk for malnutrition.
