A world where all births are safe
We are a global research and development collaboration, focused on saving lives at birth.
Proven:
Remarkable reductions in newborn and maternal deaths
The New England Journal of Medicine has published a new study showing a 40%* reduction in early newborn deaths, and a 75% reduction in maternal deaths after implementation of the Safer Births Bundle of Care.
How simulation saves lives
Built on 10+ years of research and collaboration, the Safer Births Bundle or Care is an evidence-based approach to reducing maternal and newborn mortality, with simulation training at its core.
Discover insights and learnings that led to the remarkable reductions, after implementation of the Safer Births Bundle of Care program.
Rigorous, global research
What began as one study in Tanzania, has become the world’s largest newborn resuscitation research project. Extensive new knowledge has emerged through the 150 peer-reviewed research papers and 40 PhD studies. This has contributed to a wealth of new knowledge that is improving outcomes for mothers and newborns, globally.
The Safer Births story
Worldwide, around 6,300 neonatal deaths occur every day. Most of these deaths happen in low-and middle-income countries. Most of these deaths are preventable.
In 2012, a team from Tanzania and Norway, comprising health workers, researchers, innovators and developers began work to change this. Safer Births was born.
