Bereaved heart mum, Emma, bravely shared her daughter, Daisy's story with ITV News a few weeks ago. Daisy's heart condition was detected after a routine pulse oximetry test, and Emma believes this was the reason they were able to spend 12 weeks with their baby before she tragically passed away.
Every year 1,000 babies leave hospital with their heart defect undetected, potentially putting their lives in grave danger.
Emma has become a tireless advocate of mandatory pulse oximetry screening for newborns. You can watch the ITV feature, which includes an interview with our CEO, here: https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2024-04-06/we-saw-her-suffer-yet-smile-mum-calls-for-heart-tests-after-babys-death
