We are proud to share our work and collaborate with others in improving maternal-child health. Since starting our educational projects in 2015, according to World Health Organization data, neonatal mortality has decreased by 42% in the region of the country (Cibao Norte) where Manos de Ramon has been tirelessly working (data from 2014-2019).
​
Most importantly, our collaboration with medical and nursing training programs have empowered hundreds of providers to feel more confident in caring for an extremely vulnerable high-risk population: pregnant women and their newborns.
