From us all at Tiny Tickers, thank you for your support of our life-saving work.
Your donations will be used to support our vital programmes, working to improve detection rates, care and treatment of congenital heart defects in babies. Although great strides have been made in detecting heart problems, the national detection rate still only sits at 47%, so there is far more that needs to be done. Sadly, heart defects are still one of the biggest killers in babies under 1, being responsible for 1 in 13 infant deaths. We are determined to improve this statistic.
Tiny Tickers continues to go from strength to strength - we have trained over 1150 sonographers in over 100 hospitals, since 2016. And we have also now placed 70 pulse oximetry machines, with the aim of placing 330 machines in maternity units across the country by 2021. Your donations help us to continue achieving our big ambitions and for that we are truly grateful.
We look forward to keeping you updated in 2019, as to how your support is helping give tiny hearts a better start.
Season's Greetings from Tiny Tickers.
