Action Medical Research is dedicated to funding research to help reduce the unacceptably high rate of premature birth, prevent pregnancy complications that threaten babies' lives, and find the best ways to treat sick and vulnerable babies.

Tackling premature birth
The vital research we fund aims to improve understanding of the conditions that put babies at risk of an early birth and enable doctors to advance the search for new treatments that could prevent or stop early labour.
Preventing pregnancy complications
Our latest research projects continue a proud history of Action Medical Research funding for babies. There is still so much to learn about pregnancy complications that threaten babies’ lives such as, obstetric cholestasis and fetal growth restriction.
Helping sick and vulnerable babies
We are also investing in new and better ways to treat babies who are sick or vulnerable following a difficult birth or a life-threatening condition such as hydrocephalus or congential diaphragmatic hernia.
