Kimberly-Clark Invests in Health for Mothers and Children

Nitish Gupta from Kimberly-Clark talked about the company's new initiative to support long-term human development.

Nitish Gupta is the Managing Director of Kimberly-Clark in Southeast Asia and Vietnam.

Kimberly-Clark and UNICEF are working together to improve health for mothers, newborns, and girls. This new partnership is important for the company.

Kimberly-Clark wants to support the health and well-being of women, children, and families.

The Kimberly-Clark Foundation is giving $2.05 million to UNICEF to help 3.8 million mothers, newborns, and girls in Vietnam. This is twice as much as before.

Investing in maternal health and newborn care can make families and communities healthier.

This partnership is connected to the company's purpose.

Kimberly-Clark's products are used by families, which shapes the company's purpose to care for people.

Brands like Huggies and Kotex are for mothers and children, so the partnership with UNICEF fits well.

This partnership also talks about important health issues like maternal health and newborn care.

Kimberly-Clark thinks the private sector can help with healthcare in Vietnam.

Maternal health and newborn care are important for human development.

The early stages of life are crucial for long-term health. Access to care can make a big difference.

Women and girls may face challenges in getting health information and services. Menstrual health is still a sensitive topic.

Supporting mothers and girls can strengthen families and communities.

The partnership helps improve healthcare in disadvantaged areas.

The results of the partnership with UNICEF have been positive.

By 2024, the partnership had helped over 860,000 children in Vietnam.

The program supported care for many newborns and provided emergency care.

The goal is to improve the quality of care for mothers and children. Early help can have lasting effects.

The partnership has supported healthcare guidelines and strengthened healthcare systems.

The next phase aims to help millions of mothers, newborns, and girls.

The focus will be on areas where health indicators are below national averages.

Priorities include care for premature infants, healthcare for adolescent mothers, and menstrual health education.

The program will train teachers and healthcare workers to provide health information.

UNICEF and Kimberly-Clark work together, with UNICEF providing expertise and Kimberly-Clark providing funding.

Together, they create a structured approach to implementation and evaluation.

Premature babies in Dien Bien benefited from the Kangaroo Mother Care program.

This partnership shows Kimberly-Clark's approach to responsible business leadership.

The company believes in contributing to areas where it can make a meaningful difference.

Supporting maternal health and newborn care is a natural extension of the company's focus.

Through its brands, Kimberly-Clark engages with issues related to child development and women's health.

For Kimberly-Clark, responsible leadership means using resources to support healthcare systems and improve outcomes.
