Welcome to Perinatal Care Project

The Perinatal Care Project (PCP) was established in 2002, as a joint collaborative project between the Diabetic Association of Bangladesh (BADAS), Women and Children First (UK) and the UCL Centre for International Health and Development (UK)and is sponsored by the Big Lottery Fund. This project also funded by Welcome Trust from 2009.

Bangladesh has one of the highest maternal and neonatal mortality rates in the world with an MMR of 320 per 100,000 live births and NMR of 37 per 1000 live births. More than 85% of deliveries occur at home assisted by untrained birth attendants. PCP is working towards MDGs 4 and 5 and aims to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality in three project areas Bogra, Faridpur and Moulvibazar. It is working in eighteen Unions within 6 Upazilas; the total population covered is nearly 500,000, including 36,819 women of reproductive age.
