In Papua New Guinea, many women birth alone with no medical assistance. The Mother and Baby packs are an incentive for women to attend hospital for antenatal clinics, education, and for the birth of their baby. This project has been instrumental in reducing infant pneumonia and other illnesses by improving hygiene and providing warmth.
