²ÝÁñÉçÇøÈë¿Ú

²ÝÁñÉçÇøÈë¿Ú is proud to be at the forefront of efforts to advance women’s health around the world, through our division in partnership with Texas Children’s Hospital. 

Our specialists are filling a critical need for high-quality OB/GYN care in underdeveloped nations like Malawi, a primary area of focus, where maternal mortality ranks among the highest in the world and deaths among infants is staggering.

Through collaborative partnerships with the Malawi Ministry of Health and ²ÝÁñÉçÇøÈë¿Ú Children’s Foundation Malawi and generous philanthropic support, our global women’s health specialists are:

• Reducing maternal and infant mortality and morbidity through life-saving clinical and surgical care. 
• Preventing and treating pregnancy complications like preterm birth and obstetric fistula, a devastating childbirth injury caused by obstructed labor that leaves women leaking urine and/or feces – a condition effecting an estimated 2 million women in Asia and Africa, according to the World Health Organization. 
• Improving access to care through formal OB/GYN education and training programs that increase the number of women’s healthcare providers in these underserved populations, further alleviating unnecessary maternal and infant deaths.
• Establishing new facilities to meet vital OB/GYN needs, from operating rooms to help save the lives of mother and babies to outlying obstetric centers that prevent delays in care, a primary cause of pregnancy and childbirth complication in these remote areas. 

We’re making a difference in communities around the world through OB/GYN services that include:

• Maternity care
• Postnatal care
• Identification and treatment of preexisting conditions, such as malnutrition and obstetric fistula, to prevent pregnancy complications and ensure the healthiest possible delivery and outcomes
• Maternal waiting homes
• Fistula and gynecologic surgeries 
• Screenings and referrals for infertility, oncology, psychiatric illness, HIV and other emerging conditions
• Family planning and contraception
• Education on vital topics such as nutrition, breastfeeding, and caring for newborns
