WHO WE ARE
The Expanding Maternal and Neonatal Survival (EMAS) is a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) program in Indonesia, launched in 2011. The five-year (2011-2016) program supports the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in reducing maternal and newborn mortality in six provinces in Indonesia. EMAS works in partnership with Indonesian government agencies (national, provinci
al and local), civil society organizations, public and private health facilities, health professional organizations and the private sector to improve outcomes for mothers and newborns. EMAS is a partnership of five organizations: Jhpiego (lead partner), Lembaga Kesehatan Budi Kemuliaan (LKBK), Muhammadiyah, Save the Children and RTI International. WHAT WE DO
We work in 30 districts and cities, including 150 hospitals and 300 health centers (Puskesmas) to help improve health outcomes for mothers and newborns and reduce maternal and newborn deaths. EMAS focuses on two priorities:
Working to make sure hospitals and health centers are able to and are held accountable for providing high quality care for maternal and newborn-related emergencies, and
Helping to ensure that in emergency situations, pregnant women and babies are sent to an appropriate health facility in a timely manner and are given life-saving treatment while en route to the hospital. WHERE WE WORK
