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

Support Us

In the past 35 years, Vietnam has made impressive strides in reducing maternal and infant mortality. Yet, despite these advancements, neonatal mortality and morbidity remain persistent challenges within our health system.

To address this, Newborns Vietnam, in partnership with Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy and the European Resuscitation Council, is empowering health professionals with critical skills to save babies’ lives. Through innovative training, our UK team teach doctors, nurses, and midwives to master newborn resuscitation techniques using lifelike manikins and real-life scenarios. These hands-on simulations are not just lessons—they are lifesavers. Every trained professional will go on to save thousands of lives and, in turn, become future trainers, multiplying the impact across generations.

Hear their voices and stories in our new video. witness the dedication and courage of those on the front lines of neonatal care and their commitment to giving every baby a fighting chance from their very first breath.

Birth asphyxia remains the leading cause of death, brain damage, autism, ADHD, seizures, and cerebral palsy. For babies who do not breathe at birth, every second can mean the difference between life, death, or disability. For those who survive, 80% will face lifelong health challenges, placing enormous financial and emotional burdens on families, communities, and society.

But together, we can change this. Be a Lifesaver. Join hands with Newborns Vietnam by sponsoring an NLS scholarship, $240 each (6 million VND) for doctors, nurses, and midwives. Your support is more than a donation—it’s a gift of life and a vital investment in our nation’s future generation.
