About Muso

Muso believes that no one should die waiting for health care. We build health systems to save lives by reaching patients faster, within hours of becoming iii. To do this, we partner with communities facing extreme poverty. Muso has spent more than a decade creating and improving our proactive care model, preparing it to serve the global effort for universal health care. We have documented rapid improvements in the health of the populations we serve: a 2018 study found that the communities we care for in Mali, which previously had some of the highest infant mortality rates in the world, now have lower infant mortality rates than any other country in sub-Saharan Africa for five years and have finally reached a rate comparable to the United States. Access to patient care has increased tenfold. Muso is now serving the governments of Mali and Côte d'ivoire in their efforts to translate the results of this research into national policy and practice.

We are providing proactive health care to 370,000 patients in peri-urban and rural areas of Mali, and in 2022, we are expanding our direct service to several districts in Côte d'ivoire, ultimately reaching an additional 247,000 patients. Muso's team provides technical assistance that helps several governments build their national community health and primary care systems to pursue universal early access to care, maternal health, and child survival. We integrate rigorous academic research and strategic advocacy to identify and share strategies that can accelerate global efforts for child survival, maternal health, and universal health care. Given the transformations in health care access and survival that Muso has documented, over the next five years, our direct service, research, and advocacy will work to advance a new model of care for community health systems.
