Every baby deserves the best start in life. Thanks to a transformational gift from Bukhman Philanthropies, we’re one step closer to making that a reality for even more families.

Their generous donation of £500,000 will support King’s neonatal team to carry out vital research, invest in cutting-edge equipment, and deliver world-class care for some of our tiniest and most vulnerable patients.

We strongly believe in the power of research to increase our understanding of current challenges in neonatal health and are committed to supporting better outcomes for babies and mothers worldwide.

Led by Professor Anne Greenough, the specialist team at King’s is working at the forefront of neonatal medicine—driving forward research and turning discoveries into real-world care that improves outcomes for babies and mothers, not just here in the UK, but around the world.

This gift is also enabling us to invest in the tools and training King’s clinical teams need to deliver the highest standard of care—whether that’s through new equipment, enhanced education, or faster translation of research into practice.
