Community Birth Alert System

Every birth deserves a voice.

When a baby is born in a remote community, CBAS gives the people around them the power to notify the system instantly. One alert from a trained volunteer is all it takes to connect a newborn to health services, immunization, and a legal identity.

Features

Built so communities can speak up for every newborn.

CBAS gives trained volunteers in remote areas the tools to notify the system the moment a birth happens — even without internet.

Offline-First Mobile App

A community volunteer witnesses a birth. They open the CBAS app and send an alert — even with no signal. The app stores everything locally and syncs the moment connectivity returns. No birth goes unreported.

GPS-Tagged Alerts

Every notification includes the exact location where the birth happened — helping route alerts to the nearest health facility.

Health Indicators

Notifiers capture critical health details at the point of alert — complications, immunization needs, mother's condition — so nothing is missed.

Status Updates

Once an alert is processed, the community volunteer who submitted it gets notified — closing the loop between the field and the facility.

Multi-Level Dashboard

Alerts flow upward — from ward to LGA to state to national level. Each administrator sees exactly what's happening in their jurisdiction, tracks which alerts need attention, and monitors notifier activity.

How It Works

From a birth in a village to a name in the national system.

CBAS replaces paperwork and phone calls with a single, instant alert from the community.

01 Step One

Someone witnesses a birth.

A trained Community Birth Notifier opens the CBAS app and sends an alert — mother's details, location, health status. It works offline and takes under 3 minutes. The community has spoken up.

Send Alert
02 Step Two

The alert reaches the system.

The notification syncs to the CBAS dashboard where LGA staff receive it, verify the details, and begin connecting the newborn to health services and immunization tracking.

Fatima B. — Male Verified
Chidi O. — Female Verified
03 Step Three

A child gets an identity.

Because someone in the community raised an alert, the National Population Commission can now process the birth and issue a certificate. That one notification gave a child their legal identity, their rights, and their protection.

Why This Matters

Most unregistered births aren't hidden. They're just unreported.

The births happen. People know about them. But without a way to notify the system, millions of children never get registered — and never access the services they're entitled to.

CBAS solves this by giving community volunteers the ability to send a simple alert the moment a birth occurs. That's all it takes.

  • Early health alerts — complications and immunization needs are flagged in the notification itself, not discovered months later.
  • Community-powered — the people closest to where births happen become the first link in a national health chain.
  • Real-time visibility — every alert builds a live picture of where births are happening and where resources are needed.
