About Shifo Foundation

Shifo is a social enterprise based in Sweden. Our vision is a day when no child dies or suffers from preventable diseases. By working together with our partners we identify and close the real gaps in health service delivery, based on reliable, relevant and transparent data.

Shifo is currently working on strengthening health systems and supporting preventive child health service delivery. We focus on child registration and follow up on children to ensure they receive all essential health services including vaccinations, nutrition, growth monitoring, and tracking the prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV. We want to ensure that every child is registered and followed-up to receive lifesaving health services during their most vulnerable time – birth, infancy and childhood, and ensure that every child grows up strong and healthy.

Shifo has developed MyChild system, which addresses some of the toughest challenges in reaching every child with preventive health services by enabling child registration, ensuring effective follow-up of children, and providing reliable and relevant information for improved decision-making. Shifo is actively working in Uganda and has started to work in Afghanistan together with Swedish Committee for Afghanistan.
