1 in 10 babies require admission to a Newborn Intensive Care Unit( NICU). In the Caribbean basin and Latin America, anywhere from 2.3-24 babies die per 1000 born alive before 28 days of age.* Most of these babies are born too soon.

We work collaboratively with local medical teams and governments to improve the care delivered to newborn infants in these countries through providing support for purchase of necessary life-saving equipment, training of medical, nursing, biomedical and allied staff as required, and supporting the resilience of healthcare teams and NICU families, with the aim of reducing the Neonatal Mortality rate to < 12/1000 live births. This aligns with the third of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
