Baby Marie was born at 30 weeks @HEALAfrica, DRC. Our partner, @BirthlinkUK, teaches nurses and doctors the skills they need to help premature babies like Marie. Thanks to the excellent care she received, she went home after 3 months in the NICU. #WorldPrematurityDay

Find out more about Kathy Mellor, a neonatal nurse practitioner who is also co-founder of @BirthlinkUK.
@DiamedicaUK secured a donation from @Safe_4_all so that Kathy could take a Baby #CPAP with her to use on her forthcoming visit to North Kivu, #DRC.

Can’t quite believe we did it! This time last week, @fphcare UK were in the midst of cycling from Yerevan to Stepanakert in aid of @BirthlinkUK. It was the hardest but most rewarding challenge I’ve ever done. Please support this great cause. Thank you 💙 justgiving.com/fundraising/a…
