The TibaSalama provides maternal referral services to ensure pregnant women and new mothers receive specialized, accurate, and timely healthcare, aiming to improve health outcomes and efficiently utilize healthcare resources. TibaSalama connects women with healthcare providers at government facilities to ensure they receive appropriate care promptly.
