Together, we can save newborn lives – will you join us?

Support Us

As we begin the year, we are filled with hope, excitement, and determination to save more newborn lives than ever before. Together, we are transforming neonatal care and creating brighter futures for Vietnam’s tiniest and most vulnerable.

Looking back at 2024, we celebrate some incredible achievements:

• Resuscitation Breakthroughs: Over 1,000 healthcare professionals trained in newborn resuscitation, reaching even the most remote provinces like Dien Bien and Lai Chau.
• National Impact: Training programs that now benefit thousands of babies annually with life-saving practices like antenatal steroids, delayed cord clamping, and thermal care.
• Respectful Midwifery: Empowering women during childbirth with innovative practices that can be adopted nationwide.
• Community Spirit: Raising vital funds and awareness through events like the BIM Group Ironman 70.3 Phu Quoc, VinFast Ironman 70.3 Da Nang, Vietnam Mountain Marathon, and the Consular Club International Christmas Bazaar.
Looking forward to 2025, we are excited to:
• Expand neonatal care programs to reach more hospitals and remote regions.
• Establish more quality improvement projects to improve outcomes for preterm and at-risk newborns.

Calling all runners, triathletes, and supporters! Let’s make 2025 the year you go the extra mile to save newborn lives. We can’t wait to cheer on our incredible Team Newborns as they cross the VTM finish line and beyond!
