Celebrating our healthcare heroes
A whole host of healthcare professionals are involved in the pregnancy, birth and post-natal journey; including midwives, doctors, nurses, surgeons, anaesthetists, obstetricians and neonatal professionals. The Pure Foundation Fund puts faces and names to the hands that touch the lives of expectant and new parents, both physically and emotionally, yet so often remain anonymous.
WaterWipes encouraged both healthcare professionals and expectant and new parents to nominate a healthcare professional who had provided exceptional support, compassion and care for their patients or contributed to advancing maternity or neonatal care.
The COVID-19 pandemic has opened people’s eyes to the dedication of our healthcare heroes who have gone above and beyond, and we received some remarkable entries.
