EMBEDDED RESEARCH

WE USE RESEARCH AS AN INSTRUMENT OF JUSTICE.

Muso conducts rigorous research because our patients deserve the truth. Just as patients deserve medications that have been proven to work, so do communities deserve health systems that have proven efficacy. Good intentions are not enough. Our patients deserve health care systems that work, that are evidence-based. That is why we test everything we do.

Conventional health care systems measure their impact based on how they treat patients who walk through the door. For Muso, health systems should care as much about the patients who never make it to the door of the health center. That is why we measure our success based on changes in population-level health outcomes, in collaboration with our government and academic partners.

Real-time Learning

We analyze the services Professional Community Health Workers, doctors, and other providers offer daily as they care for patients. These systems track the outputs of our health systems to help us define the quality, quantity, and speed of care delivered.

Population-level Impact

We conduct research to find global solutions to global injustices — to identify what strategies work, what strategies do harm, and what strategies can accelerate the global effort for universal health care and child survival.
