Story
About one thousand babies are born in Ukraine daily, many in terrible conditions. Stress and anxiety are resulting in many more premature births.
Neonatal care is being provided in dire circumstances, often in temporary hospitals under shelling, with air raid sirens raging overhead.
In light of current events, the ability of the Ukrainian maternity centres and hospitals to cope is being severely affected.
The doctors urgently need equipment; frequent air raids mean moving vulnerable babies from the intensive care to the cold basements.
A single baby warmer to keep a new born warm whilst they shelter costs £1182, a portable incubator provides a safer environment for a premature baby whilst their vital organs are given a chance to mature, each costs £6000.
British-Ukrainian Aid raises funds to provide equipment and medication, which are essential to care for babies born in a time of conflict.
Your donations will help reduce neonatal mortality in war-torn Ukraine.
