“GHC’s Clean Birth Kit Program”

One Kit can Save TWO Lives: Mother & Baby

Consider these statistics:

4.5 million infants die each year
Over 303,000 mothers die each year giving birth
Nine out of 10 of these deaths are preventable
99% of these deaths occur in developing countries
A women’s lifetime risk of maternal death is 1 in 3,700 in a developed country, versus 1 in 160 in underdeveloped countries.

There are many factors involved, but one of the main causes of high neonatal and maternal mortality is infection. GHC Clean Birth Kits contain clean birthing supplies for women and babies giving birth in under-resourced countries, many of whom deliver at home due to distance, poverty, and/or cultural norms.

GHC’s Clean Birth Kits ensure that both mother and baby have a clean birth, whether birthing alone at home, at home with a traditional birth attendant (TBA), or in a clinic with a midwife or TBA.

GHC kits include:

One 2 oz. bar of wrapped soap
Two pairs of disposable gloves
Four squares of gauze
Antiseptic wipes
One single-edged razor blade with cardboard safety cover
One cord clamp
One plastic sheet (3’ x 3’)
One infant hat
One 30” x 30” receiving blanket
One birth pictorial
