We combine our efforts with expectant parents, doctors, industry and businesses, as well as government agencies to ensure the best outcomes for pregnant women and the birth of healthy babies.
Why do we fight for health of moms and babies?
On average, 1 in 4 pregnancies in the world ends in loss.
In Ukraine the birth rate declined to the lowest point in history - to 294.000 babies born in 2019, which is half as many as in 2013.
Moreover, the perinatal death rate among the newborns weighting 1500 g and more is extremely high. According to the WHO standards, it is caused by the weaknesses of healthcare services during pregnancy and labor, as well as neonatal care.
In addition, every week one woman in Ukraine dies either during pregnancy, or in labor, or right after giving birth.
In many cases tragedies can be prevented, and we are ready to fight for it!
Raising Awareness
Our goal is to raise awareness of the necessity of pregnancy planning and complications prevention. The health of mothers and babies must become a national health policy priority.
We work to reduce the number of pregnancy complications that can be prevented, and to inform expectant parents of possible issues and give them an action plan in case they occur.
We want the healthcare professionals to feel constant support, be able to grow professionally, and possess all the necessary equipment to provide medical services according to the highest world standards.
We enable national and local governments, funding bodies, and policy makers to make fact based decisions. We advocate for maternity protection, the rights of pregnant women and their babies.
