Policy & Research Advocacy
Part of Awareness Advocacy and Outreach
PIPNU drives national policy change by turning parent lived experience and real time community data into practical solutions for preterm care in Uganda. Our advocacy is parent led evidence based and aligned with how the Ugandan health system actually works.
PIPNU bridges families and policymakers through data analysis policy briefs direct engagement with Ministry of Health technical teams and integration of parent voices.
Evidence from 7,000+ preterm infants supports key policy asks including national preterm indicators in DHIS2 dedicated funding for community follow up formal recognition of the Village Kangaroo Ambassador model and national standards for post discharge preterm care.
Our work proves community based follow up is cost effective scalable and critical to reducing preventable preterm deaths.
