Waxaa sidoo kale ka qayb galay Matthew Rielly, oo ka tirsan Philips, iyo Hon. Dr. Adanna Steinacker, oo ah xiriirka caafimaadka dumar ee Nigeria.
Dhibaatooyinka Caafimaadka ee Gobolka
Mokhtar wuxuu sheegay in Wajir, Kenya, ay jirto dhismo ku yaal dharro dhiigga iyo qalab 50-doolar ah, laakiin aan la isticmaalin sababtoo ah shaqaalaha caafimaadku ma aysan baran sidii loo isticmaali lahaa. Wuxuu yiri: 'Ma ahan inaan su'aasha ku dhawaaqno: 'Ma gaaray qalabka?'', laakiin su'aasha muhiimka ah waa: 'Ma nolosha dhiigga la gaarsiiyay?''
Wuxuu sidoo kale sheegay in Baitulmaal uu ku bixiyay safar 12-saac ah, oo ay ku socdeen waddooyin aan la dhisanayn, si ay u baran karaan shaqaalaha caafimaadka sida loo caawiyo dumar iyo carruurta gobolka.
Dhaqan-celinta Caafimaadka ee Baitulmaal
Baitulmaal wuxuu ku shaqeynayaa Wajir, Kenya, qalabka Venturi-system Bubble CPAP, oo aan u baahanayn biyaha, iyo barasho qoto dheer. Sidoo kale, wuxuu ku shaqeynayaa Mogadishu, Soomaaliya, isagoo ku biiriyay Baitulmaal Hope Hospital, oo leh 30-bed, si uu uga caawiyo dumar iyo carruurta gobolka.
Waxaa sidoo kale Baitulmaal ku shaqeynayaa Gaza, Palestine, isagoo ku biiriyay qalabka caafimaadka ee Khan Younis, iyo barasho caafimaadka dumar iyo carruurta, si uu uga caawiyo dumar iyo carruurta gobolka.
At the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Baitulmaal CEO Mazen Mokhtar urged global health leaders to shift focus from product delivery to maternal outcomes, citing a Kenyan clinic where life-saving equipment sat unused due to a lack of training.
Panel Highlights the Last-Mile Healthcare Gap
On September 24, 2026, Baitulmaal CEO Mazen Mokhtar spoke at the 'From Pipeline to Pregnancy: Unlocking the Final Step' panel hosted by the Every Pregnancy Coalition at Goals House in New York. The event brought together approximately 100 leaders from government, philanthropy, industry, and frontline organizations to discuss preventable maternal and newborn deaths in fragile settings.
Moderated by Isra Chaker, Founder and CEO of Every Pregnancy, the panel featured Dr. Rasa Izadnegahdar of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hon. Dr. Adanna Steinacker of Nigeria, Matthew Rielly of Philips, and Dr. Zaher Sahloul of MedGlobal. Mokhtar used the example of a Wajir, Kenya, storeroom filled with unused postpartum hemorrhage drapes and a 50-cent plastic device to illustrate the disconnect between procurement and operational readiness.
Baitulmaal's Field Models Bridge the Delivery Gap
Mokhtar described Baitulmaal's approach as bypassing broken supply chains through context-specific adaptations. In Wajir, Kenya, the organization deployed Venturi-system Bubble CPAP devices that require no electricity, paired with a 12-hour journey on unpaved roads to train local health workers in respiratory care for mothers and newborns.
In Mogadishu, Somalia, Baitulmaal integrated its 30-bed Hope Hospital into the local health ecosystem through a referral and cost-recovery partnership with Jazeera University Hospital. In Gaza, Palestine, the organization installed solar power for neonatal intensive care at its Khan Younis medical center and conducted Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care training amid active conflict and power grid failures.
A Call to Prioritize Maternal Outcomes Over Logistics
Mokhtar emphasized that the 'last mile' of healthcare is not merely a logistics problem but a systems failure requiring communication and collaboration. He stated: 'We make a mistake when we ask: Did the product arrive? The essential question should be: Did the mother benefit?'
Following the panel, Mokhtar participated in a high-level roundtable titled 'The Science Exists. Why Is Delivery Still Failing: Closing the Gap for Mothers, Children, and Adolescents.' Reflecting on Baitulmaal's work, he concluded: 'Every life saved is hope reborn,' reaffirming the organization's commitment to building resilient healthcare infrastructure for mothers and babies worldwide.
