Please support @NewbornsVietnam Appeal for life-saving equipment for babies born to COVID infected mothers in HCMC. We need your help to buy Incubators, Neonatal Ventilators and CPAP machines for Hung Vuong and Tu Du Hospitals #neonatal #ukvnhc

Support @NewbornsVietnam Appeal to fund donor breastmilk for babies born to COVID infected mothers, babies with mothers too sick to breastfeed, COVID infected babies, and many COVID orphans being cared for at Hung Vuong Hospital, HCMC. #neonatal #ukvnhc

As well as the help and support from the Son La Province People’s Committee, Son La Province Department of Health, Department of Foreign Affairs, and Moc Chau District People’s Committee, thank you all.

The programme we have started in Son La Province has been made possible by the fantastic sponsorship from Topas Travel, Vietnam Trial Marathon and the British Chamber of Commerce, the contributions from @aliveandthrive .

Due to Covid-19, we're currently unable to organise any in person training, but to ensure there is no delay in the use of these vital pieces of equipment, we will be providing videos and online training sessions to instruct the doctors and nurses on how to use their new tools.

The hospital urgently needs more basic equipment and Infant Warmers and Phototherapy Units are hugely important tools that treat hypothermia and hyperbilirubinemia respectively as well as providing accurate, prompt results which lead to safer, healthier babies.

Last month, Newborns was the proud recipient of the Impactful Charity Award from the BritCham and now, thanks to them, two Infant Warmers and three Phototherapy Units will be on their way to Moc Chau General Hospital as part of our three year project with Son La Province.

BritCham helping save babies lives. Newborns is excited to announce the provision of lifesaving equipment to Moc Chau General Hospital made possible by a grant from the British Chamber of Commerce (BritCham).

Thanks to Shopee’s heroics, as well as those who donated to Giving Tuesday, we were able to get this vital equipment to where it needs to be to help our doctors and nurses from Bac Thanh Long, Dong Anh, Duc Giang, Gia Lam, Hoai Duc and Soc Son hospitals save more babies every day

Every day, babies are born too sick and too small to breathe on their own. In these situations, every second counts and having an Emergency Box filled with essential lifesaving tools close at hand is crucial in this early struggle.

Thankfully, our friends from Shopee swooped in and saved the day by providing the perfect boxes that more than met our requirements of being strong and able to withstand constant opening from doctors carrying it from one emergency to another.

Through last year’s successful Giving Tuesday appeal, we were able to raise funds to supply 2 Emergency Boxes to 6 hospitals in and around Hanoi, but due to Covid-19, we were unable to source any boxes that met the high standards required for hospital level Emergency Boxes.

If you have been inspired by the work of our fantastic medical staff and would like to help Newborns create the opportunity for more projects like this, then please get in touch at info@newbornsvietnam.org.

We could not be more proud of all our wonderful doctors and nurses taking on this project and we are excited to see the improvements that will be made.

Over the next 6 months they will collect, analyse and assess data to implement change in a number of important areas including infection, antibiotics, thermoregulation, neonatal transfer and antenatal steroids, all under the supervision of our UK and US neonatal consultants.

These QI projects are part of their UK Level 1 Postgraduate exam and have a special focus on finding and implementing measurable improvements to the care of their babies.
