Our funding has enabled Queen Mary University of London researchers to study the link between anaemia and maternal death during pregnancy.
Shockingly, the findings show that women with severe anaemia are twice as likely to die during or shortly after pregnancy than those without the condition.
We fund ground-breaking research, state-of-the-art equipment and innovative healthcare projects that change lives.
By supporting five hospitals and six medical research institutes, we bring extraordinary healthcare to the 2.5m people of East London and many more patients throughout the UK.
Our recent funding to transform Whipps Cross Hospital’s maternity services will benefit 50,000 local mothers over the next 10 years.
Research and care will go hand-in-hand to drive improvements for mothers, babies and their families.
