Core offering

Wuqu' Kawoq (Maya Health Alliance) is a nonprofit organization that delivers community-based primary healthcare to rural Mayan communities in Guatemala, with dedicated programs in women's health, maternal and infant care, early childhood development, chronic disease management, and care navigation. Services are provided by predominantly female staff fluent in Mayan languages (notably Kaqchikel) via home visits, mobile health applications, telemedicine, and laboratory diagnostics, targeting women and girls in underserved rural areas.

Product overview

Wuqu' Kawoq (Maya Health Alliance) operates as a direct healthcare service provider rather than a software product company. Their offering consists of a portfolio of community-based health programs delivered through Maya Community Health Workers, including Primary Care, Early Childhood nutrition, Maternal & Infant Health, Women's Health (with cervical cancer focus), Chronic Disease management, Care Navigation, Sustainable Development, and COVID-19 Response. These programs are complemented by digital tools like BebeApp, Virtual Visit telemedicine services, Laboratory Services, and the Maya Language Field School educational program. All services are provided in Mayan languages directly in the communities where patients live.
