Closed Provide funding for all pregnant women to have an ultrasound for CHD

Closed on

Fund congenital heart disease (CHD) screening during pregnancy to ensure early detection of life-threatening conditions. Identifying CHD via ultrasound enables timely interventions, better delivery planning, access to specialized care, improving survival and quality of life for affected babies.

1 in 100 babies are born with CHD and only 50% of those are detected during pregnancy. Identifying CHD can ensure babies receive the correct treatment straight after birth or life saving surgery and without this some wouldn't be here today.
