High rate of infant mortality is one of the most important health problems of our country. Since the death rate of infants is considered as an indication of the level of development of a country, Turkey, in this respect is classified as an underdeveloped country.

Infants dying less than 1 years of age lose their lives in the first month of life. This first month of life is the specialty of neonatologists. Four of the founders of this Foundation are the first neonatologists of Turkey.

The main purpose of the MOTHER AND BABY HEALTH FOUNDATION is to reduce the high death rate of infants in our country and also to save those who survive from mental damage. To serve this purpose, our Foundation has been organizing monthly scientific training programs and in the long term is planning to establish a MOTHER AND BABY INTENSIVE CARE HOSPITAL in Istanbul. A plot of land, located within close reach to the center of the city, has been granted for the hospital and training center.

The main purpose of our Foundation is to make a contribution to the health services of our country.

The words of Atatürk, our great founder, express the importance of our childern's health: " THE STRENGTH OF A NATION DEPENDS ON THE HEALTH OF ITS CHILDREN "

We believe that we will reach our goals with the generous support of our society.
