Our Story
Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
The Manos de Ramon (Ramon’s Hands) Foundation is named in honor of Dr. Ramon J.C. Murphy, a pediatrician and visionary global health advocate. Ramon has dedicated his life to caring for children in all social and geographical contexts and to educating others to address the needs of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Ramon Murphy is a model clinician, teacher, community advocate, and mentor. There are generations of pediatricians and global health trainees who credit him with our vision of the physician as advocate for a global community. His humanitarianism has assumed great breadth, shaping his diverse pediatrics practice in New York City, his founding of the Arnhold Global Health Institute at Mount Sinai, and marking the ever-growing number of public health initiatives and collaborations that have been born of Ramon’s leadership locally and worldwide. Ramon has spent his career leveraging the good in those around him—colleagues, students, and patients, alike—empowering each one to elevate shared social goals. And he has taught many of us to do the same. His spirit of humanism has touched our heads, our hearts, and our hands. May the fire continue to spread.
Activities
Making A Difference
Manos de Ramon Foundation is in the business of changing and shaping lives. The work we do at our Non-Profit Organization is aimed at improving the care of mothers and infants in low-resource settings in Latin America. Our main partnerships are in the Dominican Republic. We make sure our partners are empowered by creating educational opportunities for individuals and communities.
Newborn Resuscitation and Essential Newborn Care Training
With this initiative, our goal is to promote best practice newborn care EVERYWHERE. With access to the right training and essential resources, healthcare providers can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.

Maternal Care
You cannot have healthy babies without healthy mothers. Our organization provides training in preventing one of the leading causes of maternal deaths: postpartum hemorrhage. We train birth attendants and providers how to manage this difficult postpartum complication and how to support moms in initiating breastfeeding and skin-to-skin care.
