Enhancing access to maternal and newborn healthcare in developing Asia

We believe all birthing people deserve safety, dignity, and respect throughout the prenatal to postpartum journey. The Century Foundation (TCF) and Ancient Song are working to make community-based doula services more accessible by championing equitable health policies. The maternal mortality crisis in the U.S. demonstrates how critical it is to expand doula programs to increase quality care and improve childbirth outcomes for marginalized and underserved populations. These programs are based in the communities they serve and provide unique and culturally responsive patient services cultivated by deep connections and trust. They also help enhance the care individuals receive by providing referrals for those who need more comprehensive support. TCF is one of 11 Communities in Action for Health Equity grantees, driving solutions to advance health equity with support from Pfizer’s Multicultural Health Equity Collective and Institute of Translational Equitable Medicine.

Prenatal and postpartum care are crucial for the health and well-being of both mother and baby. Prenatal care provides essential monitoring of the mother's health, identifies potential risks, and educates her on healthy pregnancy practices. It also helps prepare her for labor and delivery. Postpartum care focuses on the mother's physical and emotional recovery, addressing any complications, and providing support for breastfeeding and bonding with the newborn. Both stages are vital for ensuring a healthy pregnancy, a safe delivery, and a smooth transition to parenthood.
