Background & Methods
An excerpt from UNICEF's Global Annual Results Report 2020, documenting programme outcomes in the Zoboza health district, Benin, where BEMPU TempWatch was deployed as part of a UNICEF-supported neonatal health programme.
Key Results
| Outcome / Metric | BEMPU Group | Control Group | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newborn deaths per year (programme district) | 2 | 9 (pre-programme baseline) | — |
| Maternal deaths per year | 2 | 7 (pre-programme baseline) | — |
- 1Newborn deaths in the ZOBOZA programme district fell from 9 to 2 per year after TempWatch deployment.
- 2Maternal deaths fell from 7 to 2 per year.
- 3The programme was scaled to 3 additional health districts following these results.
Why This Matters
The dramatic reduction in both newborn and maternal deaths documented in this UNICEF annual report — 78% fewer newborn deaths and 71% fewer maternal deaths — represents some of the strongest real-world mortality evidence for a BEMPU deployment at district scale.
