WHY IS iMATERNA BORN?
Fetal life is one of the most important stages of human development and any damaging condition occurring at this point will affect the future life of that baby. Therefore, pregnancy is a particularly sensitive time for both the mother and the fetus, since there are many complications such as preeclampsia, prematurity, diabetes, certain fetal malformations or intrauterine growth disorders, which can alter fetal development and, sometimes, even put the mother at serious risk.
Until the end of the 20th century we had very little access to the intrauterine world, but enormous progress has been made in the past decades resulting from research and technological development.
Clinical research is an extremely complex process that depends upon the cooperation and coordination of multiple people from very different disciplines from public and private centers; it goes from pregnant women who collaborate to clinicians, companies, laboratories, and the multiple statistical and computer processes entailed. Economic and organizational aid is scarce, and most researchers are self-financed, thus leaving many projects unfinished due to the lack of time, financial resources or collaboration between different centers.
Only with the cooperation and effort of everyone involved will we be able to understand, prevent and treat the diseases that govern our future.
Collaboration and solidarity are our strengths
