AYZH designs, develops, and distributes low-cost, high-quality maternal and newborn health products. Its flagship product is a $2 kit for clean births that helps resource-poor medical institutions to implement safe birth practices, and ultimately achieve critical health outcomes set by the global health community. Whenever possible AYZH products
are made by women from the community for whom they are designed.
AYZH is the only for-profit social enterprise utilizing a "B2B" business model that has successfully commercialized a clean birth kit designed specifically for facility-based births. Conventional hospital delivery rooms are often unclean and understaffed, medical instruments and surfaces do not get sterilized, and healthcare workers are overworked and undertrained. AYZH`s $2 Clean Birth Kit provides convenient and affordable access to the essential tools required to ensure safety and sterility at the time of childbirth, regardless of delivery room conditions.
