Who's Involved
There would be no Newborn Foundation without the individuals and organizations that abide by a single principle of ending preventable deaths of babies. From the Midwest heartland, to the world’s most populated countries, to an archipelago nation of 700 islands - anywhere critical newborn care and technology is hard to access, the Newborn Foundation will connect the right resources with the newborns and health workers who need them to improve outcomes and save lives. We are privileged count some of the world’s leading experts and innovators among our advisors - in medicine, business, and technology. This is the dream team that supports the strategic direction, operational efficiency and program effectiveness of the Newborn Foundation.
