La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?

More than 700,000 people are born in Argentina every year and 60% of these births take place in public hospitals. While the institutionalization of childbirth has improved health results and reduced at-home births to almost zero, this change has not been accompanied by the preservation of the rights of women and their families with respect to the birth of their children. But it is not a problem that only affects Argentina: the lack of protection, support and protagonism of the families before, during and after pregnancy is common to many regions in the world.

La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.

Fundación Larguía is committed to change the system of maternity wards in hospitals. Our approach uses scientific and technological progress and is based on a supportive focus dedicated to the well-being of pregnant women in the perinatal stage, valuing pregnant women and their children as the real protagonists in their families during childbirth. The institutionalization of birth has resulted in a policy of "Family Out": restricted visiting hours, medicalization of delivery and interference in mother-infant bonding and attachment.
The Safe and Family Centered Maternity Hospitals is implementing a "Family In" policy in all areas of the hospital and empowerment for women and their families. That means that pregnant women are able to have the company they choose during prenatal care and delivery. Parents may also enter and stay during hospitalization of their newborns, including special care areas like the neonatal intensive care unit.

El Modelo: Muéstranos a través de un ejemplo específico cómo tu solución hace una diferencia, incluye tus actividades primarias

1 – A child’s birth is always a social and familiar event. It is further more inclusive and transcendental than a biological fact.
2- SFCMH implies a paradigm shift: to include parents and their children within the context of their family groups, in their integrated and participative care. Families empowered in their roles and being protagonists contribute to the progress of science and technology applied in perinatology.
3- SFCMH includes the pregnant mother and her child before and after being born within the context of their family group. This practice is replicable and sustainable at low cost.
4- The implementation of SFCMH is based upon a procedure manual with evidence based axes, principles and steps, such as beneficial interventions. It might be modified according to beliefs and cultures of each community.
5-Main Activities:
- Support in the hospital: Flexible Scheduling; confortable spaces to stay with theirs sons and family; educative and awareness material about their rights, sexual/reproductive health care, including our model: safe and family centered health care; artistic activities;
Maternity Residence for vulnerable families.
-Training to hospital staff: training and awareness material about women rights in the hospital (respectful treatment, privacy), safe and family centered health care.
-Community: the maternity is open to the community, volunteers receive training to support pregnant women and their family before, during and after the childbirth.

El mercado: ¿Quiénes son tus pares y competidores? Identifica a otros que también estén trabajando para dar respuesta a las necesidades que tú abordas y en qué te diferencias de ellos. ¿Cuáles son los desafíos que estos jugadores podrían representar para tu éxito o crecimiento?

APAPREM (Parents Association of Prematures) group self-managed that support parents of prematures.
UNICEF supports different projects related to the SFCM Initiative and adopted it with Its work in maternal and child health.
FUNDASAMIN: they are working with some activities associated with our iniciative (eg: training of nurses). The spectrum of his approach is more restricted than ours. But from the point of view of a potential donor could be considered our work (in our view, wrongly) redundant.
CEDES: started working on the problematic a year ago. Looking to extend their influence but 'a priori' they lack in experience and fieldwork.

Historia de la fundación: Queremos saber acerca del momento en el que hiciste "¡Ajá!". Comparte la historia de dónde y cuándo el/los fundador(es) vio (vieron) el potencial de esta solución para cambiar el mundo.

The family-centered maternity hospital model has been developed and implemented by members of Larguia Foundation in the Ramón Sardá Maternity Hospital, in Buenos Aires, for the last 35 years. Development of this model was non-planned; indeed, it was performed in a progressive way. Miguel Larguía, the founder, comes from a family of distinguished pediatricians and was elected as an Ashoka Fellow in 2002.
At the beginning, the Sardá Maternity Hospital incorporated different innovative and proven effective interventions; step by step, these different interventions were articulated in a complex process, in continuous evolution.14 Its theoretical basis has been recently developed with the purpose of sharing, improving and replicating the experience of Ramón Sarda Maternity Hospital. Inspired in the “The Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative”, created in 1991 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF in order to promote breastfeeding, the Family Centered Initiative was proposed.

Por favor, describe el objetivo de tu iniciativa: un resumen de lo que están tratando de lograr

The current objective is the replication of the program which is considered a model for good practices in Buenos Aires, in maternity wards throughout Argentina and Latin America, working together with other national organizations and UNICEF. Our key goal is to replicate the initiative in the main 100 maternities with more than 1000 deliveries per year –where the 80% of public deliveries takes place. Given the fact that SFCMH is based upon a procedure manual with evidence based axes, principles and steps, It might be modified according to beliefs and cultures of each community in different regions.

¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?

Currently, the SFCMH Initiative influences the population cared at the Sardá Maternitiy (~8000 deliveries/year) and at around 50 other maternities with different stages of their local replication processes. The model complies with the national law 25,929 which establishes rights to parents and children during the pregnancy: It promotes respect for the biological and psychological time of women and their right to choose how and with whom give birth.

Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 5 años?

In Argentina more than 700,000 babies are delivered each year, 60% in public hospitals, and all of these newborns and their parents are potential beneficiaries of the SFCMH Initiative. Our key goal is to replicate the initiative in the main 100 maternities with more than 1000 deliveries per year –where the 80% of public deliveries takes place. This means that the nation-wide implementation of the initiative will affect directly ~350,000 newborns & their families.

¿Qué barreras pueden dificultar el éxito de tu proyecto? ¿Cómo planean superarlas?

Cultural & Political: the pre-requisite for the local implementation is an Organizational Culture Centered in the Family and in the Safety of Care. This fact applies at a national, regional, jurisdictional & local level. We advocate & work together with different actors at every hierarchical level to align them with the new paradigm values.
Personal: the skills, beliefs, motivations & social influences of the local teams and their members can boost and/or reduce the replication pace. A central part of the replication process is the awareness building & training of local authorities and teams assisting the latters with personal & virtual following.

¿Qué tipo de sistema operativo y factores internos de la organización hacen que tu innovación sea un éxito?

We have been working for more than 35 años in maternity and hospitals. It is considered a model for good practices in Buenos Aires and supported by the Argentina Health Ministy.
We compiled a procedures manual for these organizations that defines the 5 goals, 15 principles and 10 steps as well as the foundations and strategies of implementation

Por favor, pon en claro las necesidades u ofertas que hayas mencionado anteriormente y/o sugiere categorías de apoyo que no están especificadas en la lista

We would like to have more local o regional investments to replicate the model in other Maternities. We also need human resources (interns, volunteers) for our media strategy. We can offer knowledge and systematized information about health care in maternity hospitals.
