Centre of excellence for newborn care in Uganda

Organization information

Born on the Edge

Location: Wrestlingworth, United Kingdom

Summary

Since 2014, we have treated over 10,000 babies and saved over 3000 lives and the number of newborn babies dying in the hospital has reduced by 70%. This dramatic success can be attributed to a sustainable training model and provision of good quality basic newborn care. The creation of a 52 bed neonatal unit and Centre of Excellence for Newborn Care and Training is key to extending our training and knowledge across Uganda and further reducing neonatal mortality beyond our region.
