Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching & Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) has been in existence for more than a century, having been established in the early 1900s to cater for the health needs of workers at the then-port town of Kisumu. Since then it has grown to become the referral hospital serving County, Sub-county, and private hospitals in more than 10 Counties in the Western Kenya region with a population of more than 10 million people. The inception of JOOTRH was highly influenced by the high presence of malaria and other diseases in Port Florence, which necessitated the creation of a facility to cater for the black population. Due to racial segregation, reminiscent of the colonial era, Victoria Hospital was established in 1932 to cater for the white population. The hospital, having been commissioned in 1969, has seen a lot of development by the Kenyan government, and now the county government providing more funds to improve the in-patient capacity and out-patient facilities to its present state. The Victoria Hospital was initially left to the Catholic Church by the colonial government, but later reverted to the government and is currently the amenity wing of JOOTRH.

In January 2004, an expanded Partnership for Safe Motherhood and Newborn Health was established with the aim of promoting the health of women and newborns, especially the most vulnerable. Expanding the scope of the global Safe Motherhood Initiative and building on the work of the Safe Motherhood Inter-Agency Group, the Partnership aims to strengthen maternal and newborn health efforts at the global, regional, and national levels, in the context of equity, poverty reduction, and human rights. The Partnership is a result of a consultative process, initiated in 2002, among a diverse group of international development agencies and organisations to promote greater attention along with professional guidance in helping with Life insurance quotes to, and resources for, safe motherhood and newborn health. Focusing on the areas of advocacy/information-sharing, technical advancement, and country-level support and partnership, the Partnership undertakes the following activities: Implementing an advocacy/media strategy to refocus global attention to improving the health of women and newborns in developing countries; Stimulating national-level commitment to make safe motherhood/newborn health a priority within national development plans and aid requests; Promoting effective interventions, including educating mothers about cord blood banking, to improve the application of technical knowledge and research findings.
