Aprena

Aprena, or the Asociación Pro Recién Nacidos, is a dedicated organization founded in 1984 in Costa Rica, focused on improving neonatal care within the country's healthcare system. Partnering with major hospitals such as the National Children's Hospital and Hospital México, Aprena provides essential medical equipment, supplies, and infrastructure to intensive care units, tackling the urgent needs of premature babies and newborns facing congenital malformations or complications during childbirth.

With a mission to reduce infant mortality rates, Aprena plays a crucial role in the neonatal network of Costa Rica, where approximately 10% of annual births require special medical attention. They empower communities through awareness and donations, emphasizing that with collective support, significant changes can be made. The organization not only supports medical efforts but also shares valuable resources on caring for premature and critically ill infants. Through contributions and personal stories, Aprena builds a resilient community united in hope and care for the youngest lives.
