Jose Fabella HospitalSupporting one of the busiest maternity hospitals in the world |
The National Maternity Hospital in Santa Cruz, Manila, known as the "Baby Factory of the Philippines" due to its high birth rate of 50 to 100 deliveries per day, has been a key focus for ANZA Manila's ongoing support. Through its long-standing partnership with the hospital, ANZA provides essential donations such as preemie nappies for newborns, Kangaroo Care wraps for premature babies, and phototherapy eye masks for infants undergoing jaundice treatment. These contributions help improve the quality of care for mothers and their newborns during this critical time.
ANZA’s relationship with Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital has also been instrumental in supporting mothers of premature babies. The Kangaroo Care technique, which involves placing the premature baby on the mother's (or father’s) bare chest for skin-to-skin contact, has been encouraged with donated wraps. The benefits of Kangaroo Care include stable heart and respiratory rates, improved oxygenation, settled mood and sleep, increased appetite, better bonding, and more rapid weight gain. This proven technique greatly improves the health and overall development of premature babies, and through these donations and ongoing volunteer efforts, ANZA remains committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of Filipino families.
