The program is designed to enhance access to care, improve birth outcomes , and address the social determinants of health that disproportionately impact underserved communities.

"Thanks to APOTEX's generosity, Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies is able to reach more families in Broward County to ensure a decrease in maternal and infant mortality," said Dawn Liberta, Executive Director of HMHB/Broward. "With this support, we can continue our mission of ensuring that every mother and baby has access to the healthcare resources they need for a healthy start. It will go a long way to sustain the zero infant mortality rate that we have sustained over the past four years."

The Apotex Global Health Access Fund was launched to tackle disparities in healthcare access and health literacy. In its inaugural year, the fund is allocating $1 million annually to maternal health programs across Canada, the United States, India, and Mexico. HMHB/Broward is the first U.S. recipient of the fund, following the Rexdale Community Health Centre in Toronto as the first grant awardee.
