Help us build our Mothers & Babies Hospital in Nepal.  
 
Australians for Women’s Health (A4WH) was founded in 2010 by Gynaecologist Obstetrician, A/Prof Ray Hodgson. The objective of A4WH is to improve the appalling state of women’s health in Nepal. The magnitude of women’s reproductive health problems in Nepal is enormous. This is largely due to the very limited availability of health services. A4WH undertakes regular medical and surgical ventures in Nepal to provide treatment to underprivileged women and to train to local doctors, nurses and midwives. Their latest project is the building of a 35-bed hospital for mothers & babies in eastern Nepal.  This will become a major training centre for local medical staff.
A4WH is registered with Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) and is fully transparent with all finances. There are no religious affiliations.
 
A4WH has two major arms within Nepal:
Maternal Health – to reduce very high levels of maternal and perinatal mortality In Nepal, a mother dies every four hours and a baby dies every 20 minutes. Most of these deaths are preventable through relatively simple measures.
Genital Prolapse – to treat and prevent very high levels of genital prolapse. Severe prolapse is distressing to women, both physically and emotionally. Prevention and treatment of this pervasive disease is paramount.
