About Pathway
Pathway Foundation is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of ethnic minority pregnant women, mothers, and their babies. Our activities include organizing educational events and seminars led by qualified medical, obstetrics, and midwifery professionals, ensuring that communities have access to essential knowledge about maternal and newborn health. We also distribute NHS-approved information and materials, tailored to meet the specific needs of ethnic minorities, empowering them with reliable resources on prenatal care, childbirth, and infant health.
Recognizing the financial barriers that some individuals face, we provide crucial support to minorities and those unable to afford basic healthcare services. Our efforts aim to reduce health disparities and ensure that everyone has access to the medical care they need. Additionally, we offer vital assistance to mothers during the prenatal and postnatal periods by providing clothing and food, helping them focus on their health and the well-being of their babies during these critical times.
