War in Ukraine and a female founder addressing infant mortality 

In this podcast episode 22 of One Million Euro Stories, Iris Mettendaf speaks to the founder of Babymoon Geta Rasciuc.

World Prematurity Day is on the 17th November: it's a global movement to raise awareness of premature birth and the impact it can have on families.

War in Ukraine

Founder of Babymoon Geta Rasciuc says: “Imagine you have a premature baby, a super tiny vulnerable baby and you are in the neonatal unit. There is a bomb alarm and you need to run out of the hospital into the bomb shelter with a vulnerable baby. It's so crazy; it gives me chills just to think about it."

"The hospitals can't rely on electricity supply. They can't even rely 100% on their equipment, because you need electricity. This is also an extra point for my product that it doesn't need electricity. It will provide the environment for the baby, that will keep them safe”, says Geta Rasciuc.

60 hospitals and 12,000 carriers for premature babies

"This is a collaboration with Rotary fellowship of Healthcare professionals, Ukrainian Institute for Perinatal Health and Heroes International”, says Geta Rasciuc of Babymoon.
