Dr. Himansu Kumar Basu is a Rotarian with 40 + years experience as an Obstetrician Gynaecologist in the UK and is now retired. He is committed to improving health of Mothers and Babies through global partnership, funding, hands on efforts and advocacy roles. While there is no vaccines against mother and child deaths during birthing, there are methods to reduce same. He stresses the need to prepare mothers for pregnancies by improving their lot through improved nourishment and medical interventions when necessary, to strengthen their bodies to undergo birthing. This is achieved by improving the nourishment and medical assistance well before birth! He says that improving the skills of the medical teams during the delivery stages is important, but it will not guarantee a successful delivery, nor a healthy baby, if the mother is weak due to a prior life lacking proper nutrition and health care. ..................


Why I am fundraising for The Rotary Foundation
Rotary makes high-quality health care available to vulnerable mothers and children so they can live longer and grow stronger.

I want mothers and children everywhere to have access to quality care, so they can have the same opportunities for a healthy future throughout the world. An estimated 5.9 million children under the age of five die each year because of malnutrition, inadequate health care, and poor sanitation — all of which can be prevented.

With your help Rotary can make it happen

Rotary provides education, immunizations, birth kits, and mobile health clinics. Women are taught how to prevent mother-to-infant HIV transmission, how to breast-feed, and how to protect themselves and their children from disease.

Maternal and Child Health

Support initiatives that make health care available to mothers and children so they can live longer, grow stronger and have a brighter future.
