Why Go the Extra Mile?

Saving a fragile newborn, weighing just 500-600 grams, requires more than ₹7-8 lakhs for a chance at survival. The first seven days of life are the most critical 75% of neonatal deaths occur during this time. While many organizations are working to bridge this gap, it is not enough. Every two minutes, a child loses its life not because their condition is untreatable, but because medical aid is beyond reach for their families.

How We Help

Collaboration with Hospitals – Partnering with hospitals and newborn specialists to provide life-saving care for fragile babies.

Financial Support – Easing the burden for families by covering essential medical expenses for newborn treatment.

Support for Newborn Care Units – Assisting smaller SNCUs with timely transfers to advanced medical centers for specialized care.
