Many families live a long way from the nearest hospital.
Lack of easy access to adequate healthcare facilities puts the well-being of pregnant women and newborn babies at risk.
Babies are vulnerable to preventable diseases like Diarrhoea and Pneumonia right after birth.
UNICEF is working with the Government to ensure:
- More pregnant women have access to proper healthcare facilities,
- More eligible newborn babies are admitted to Special Newborn Care Units (SNCUs) where they can be treated with special care and attention,
- More hospitals have state-of-the-art Special Newborn Care Units (SNCUs),
- More Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers and medical staff are helped in treating premature newborn babies.
You can donate and help innocent newborn babies.
Becoming a monthly donor will help ensure:
- You are helping children get all the necessary care and treatment consistently and timely for months. It usually takes months for a child to fully recover from an illness.
- You are saving the lives of more and more children. Many children are being born underweight and premature every month so a continuous support is needed.
- You are making a long-term impact in the health of newborn babies in India.
- You are helping in better and bigger planning of improving healthcare in India.
