The Preglife Award is an initiative to support groundbreaking research and projects within our foundation pillars: pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. This annual award was handed out for the first time in April 2024, celebrating innovations that make a significant impact on maternal and infant health globally.
Objective of the Preglife Award
The Preglife Award aims to advance research in maternal health by funding projects that promise real-world benefits. Selected by our Medical Board, these projects focus on improving health outcomes for mothers and children worldwide.
Global Impact
The Preglife Award will promote studies aiming to lead to safer births, better postpartum care and a smoother transition into parenthood. With Preglife’s global reach, the results of this research will have widespread implications, aiming to influence healthcare practices internationally.
Vision for the Future
The award will be presented yearly. Each ceremony will not only recognise the winner of the year but also highlight emerging trends and research opportunities.
