Improving lives of Women and Children in Innovative Ways.

Every Day.

The Foundation for Mother & Child Health UK working with two locally led sister organisations in India and Indonesia, aims to ensure every child reaches their potential and this is not hindered by lack of knowledge. We do this through provision of programmes improving knowledge around maternal and child health.

Welcome to FMCH

At FMCH UK, we are dedicated to improving maternal and parental mental health and wellbeing, both in the UK and across the globe. Through collaboration, education, and advocacy, we strive to support parents, professionals, and communities in understanding the importance of mental health during the perinatal period and beyond.

International Collaboration: Maternal Mental Health in Africa
In December 2024, FMCH UK was honoured to partner with the Executive Committee of the *International Conference on Maternal Mental Health in Africa (ICAMMHA24)* in Zimbabwe. Together, we delivered a groundbreaking hybrid conference that brought together health professionals, researchers, and women with lived experience. The event focused on innovative ways to support parents in Africa experiencing mental health challenges during the perinatal period—from pregnancy through to one year after birth.

We are thrilled to announce that a core team is being formed to produce *ICAMMHA 2025*. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting venture later this year!

Our global mission continues as we work to raise awareness of the crucial importance of education for children, parents, and healthcare workers. FMCH Indonesia and FMCH India are already making significant strides in educating communities on the vital issues relating to the first 1000 days.
