Surya Mother and Child Care in Mumbai specializes in High Risk Pregnancies

At the time you become a mother or a father, everything changes in your life. A child brings happiness to the family where in everyone awaits to welcome the new and the youngest member of the family. However, not every family is lucky enough to enjoy the birth of a baby when you don’t know the future of your child who is admitted in the NICU just after being born.

Therefore, Surya Child Care is aiming to lower down the mortality rates and premature deliveries to a great extent. It works on providing financial, moral and a 360 degree care to such families who cannot afford neo-natal care and much more. There are lots of issues facing new-borns. A lot of births still happen at home or at unhygienic places with no supervision from a trained nurse/doctor. This puts the mother and the child at life-threatening risk especially in high risk pregnancies. Even in Mumbai, which is the financial capital of India, the number of neonatal beds is really low. The problem arises when a new-born has to be shifted in neonatal care but due to unavailability of proper services, the mortality rate increases.

Surya Hospital has been working on good NICU on wheels, trying to make a complete comprehensive list of beds available everywhere in the country, guide parents who all have problems or have a premature delivery as to where to go and how to go. Also, sensitize the government and the NGOs, sensitize practitioners and pediatricians in neonatal care and understanding of neonatology. Problem of premature birth needs both attention and intervention. India has to improve its maternal and its child health care records. India accounts for 24% of the world’s premature deaths every year. 3 Lakhs newborn deaths take place in the first 24 hours that is highest for any country. We, at Surya Child Care aim at decreasing the mortality late in High Risk Pregnancies.
