About Us

HealthProm is an international development non-profit organization working with local communities to improve health and social care for vulnerable women and children in the countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

We give priority to prevention and early intervention in the life of mother and child by working through partnership projects with local community groups and non-profit organizations, healthcare administrations and training institutes.

Our Mission

HealthProm is primarily focused on the health of mother and child, with priority given to prevention and early intervention. Through infection control, safe childbirth, and child mental health projects, HealthProm advocates high-quality practice in healthcare rather than a reliance on technology.

Multidisciplinary teamwork, including midwives, obstetricians, epidemiologists and hospital specialists in infection control and child mental health, constitute the core of our partnership projects. Our partners develop strong ties across what have been rigid boundaries within the regional healthcare system.

HealthProm's projects are always created with sustainability in mind. Special attention is paid to resources beyond training, to ensure that projects can be replicated in the future. HealthProm, for example, provides basic equipment where needed. If possible we include local materials into the undergraduate trainings of medical and midwifery students in the area.

Our History

Since 1984, HealthProm has been working with regional health administrations, hospitals, academic institutions and non-profit organizations in the former Soviet Union (FSU) to enhance the delivery of health and social services in the region. With the help of a great team of Trustees, volunteers and project people, HealthProm has created an intricate system of partnership projects throughout Eastern Europe and has spread projects into Central Asian.
 
Because HealthProm does not deliver health services directly, we have, since 1984, drawn upon an extensive network of British specialists in health and social care. Most of these individuals come from National Health Services consultant posts and volunteer their time within our organization.
