Those who live in poverty often receive health care too late or not at all. Life-saving tools to stop millions of preventable deaths are well-proven. But traditional health systems are passive and reactive. 

A reactive model is not enough and early access to care is crucial to survival. The Muso Model is a community-led health system that includes three critical steps in reaching and treating patients faster, within hours of symptom onset.

1. Proactive Search: Community Health Workers (CHWs) search for patients through door-to-door home visits to connect them with care early.

2. Doorstep Care: CHWs provide a package of life-saving health care services in the home.

3. Rapid Access Clinics: Muso removes point-of-care fees, builds infrastructure, and trains staff, so that government clinics can provide universal, early access to care.

Faster access to care can save 10x more lives. In the areas where Muso operates, we’ve seen a 10x difference in child mortality and a 10x increase in patient access to care. As Muso grows, we’re reaching more patients, faster.

Mali has one of the highest rates of maternal and child mortality, and that's why Muso has started there.

In 2016, Muso made 1,093,001 home visits and treated 82% of peri-urban patients within 24 hours and 96% of patients within 72 hours of their first symptom.
