The package helped to decrease the infant mortality rates (IMR) in Finland[1] and the goal is that the Thula Baba Box would be able to do the same in South Africa.[2] HistoryThe Thula Baba Box project was initiated by Stellenbosch parents Ernst Hertzog and Frans De Villiers.[3] They came up with the idea to develop a Maternity package, similar to the kit granted by the Finnish social security, and to introduce it into the newly proposed national health insurance system of South Africa by 2020.[4] PackageThe box contains baby products, information brochures on babies, baby clothes, washing items, basic medicine, toys, and other items.[5] The box further doubles up as a cot the newborn baby can sleep in.[6] It is aimed at providing a safe sleeping environment for the baby. It has been shown that providing the infant with his/her own bed, instead of sleeping with the parent, helps reduce the risk of death due to suffocation or falling in between the mattress and the headboard.[7][8] African relevanceMany African women and their newborns do not have access to health care during the early postnatal period, putting them at an increased risk of illness and death. Each year, 310,000 fewer newborns would die in Africa and many maternal deaths could be preventable if coverage of postnatal care reached 90 percent of women and babies.[9] With the Thula Baba Box adapted to the South African context it can serve as solid basis for other African nations to re-invent their own versions.[10] South African health targetsSouth African health targets for 2014 include:
The Thula Baba Box has the potential to aid the Health Care system achieving these targets in the future.[12] Baby Boxes in popular cultureIn 2015, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, William and Kate, were given a Baby Box by the Finnish government in celebration of the birth of their second born child, Baby Charlotte.[13] FutureA study into the potential social benefits of rolling out the Thula Baba Box is currently underway in the Western Cape, South Africa. The study, which is funded by the private sector and taken onboard by the Department of Economics at the University of Stellenbosch, aims to assess the effects on maternal and infant health. The study focuses on mainly the lower-income families of the Western Cape. Detailed design work are expected to proceed once study work has been concluded. It is expected that the Thula Baba Box will be introduced to new mothers at state funded clinics and hospitals in the Western Cape within the next three to five years.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2013/06/04/A-simple-cardboard-box-helped-Finland-reduce-infant-mortality/UPI-10921370394369/|title=A simple cardboard box helped Finland reduce infant mortality|last=Schmitt|first=Terry|publisher=UPI|date=June 6, 2013|accessdate=June 27, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite journal|last=Bamford|first=L.|date=2013|title=Maternal, Newborn and Child Health.|journal=South African Health Review|publisher=Durban: Health Systems Trust|issue=2012/2013|pages=49–66}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.com/specialfeatures/horizonsbusiness/seriesfour/episode-9-gates-money-science/?vid=p0278j8c|title=Gates, Money & Science|publisher=BBC Horizons|minutes=2:30|accessdate=July 2, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.southafrica.info/about/social/babybox-290414.htm#.VZkcRfnzpD9|title=South African fathers develop baby 'survival kit'|publisher=Brand SA, Department of Trade and Industry|date=April 30, 2014|accessdate=July 5, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2014/05/19/baby-box-could-save-lives-of-newborns|title=Baby box could save lives of newborns|last=Pillay|first=Taschica|publisher=The Times|date=May 19, 2014|accessdate=May 27, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.capetowngreenmap.co.za/blog/thula-baby-box-wdc328-0|title=Thula Baby Box|last=Todres|first=Philip|publisher=Cape Town Green Map|date=April 28, 2014|accessdate=May 28, 2015}} 7. ^{{cite journal|last=Pattinson|first=R.C.|date=2012|title=Saving mothers 2008-2010: Fifth report on the confidential enquiries into maternal deaths in South Africa.|publisher=Pretoria: National Department of Health}} 8. ^{{cite journal|last=Pattinson|first=R.C.|date=2012|title=Saving babies 2010-2011: Eighth report on perinatal care in South Africa|publisher=Tshepesa Press, Pretoria}} 9. ^{{cite journal|last1=Darmstadt|first1=GL|last2=Bhutta|first2=ZA|last3=Cousens|first3=S|last4=Adam|first4=T|last5=Walker|first5=N|last6=De Bernis|first6=L|title=Evidence-based, cost-effective interventions: How many newborn babies can we save?|journal=Lancet|date=2005|volume=365|pages=977–988|doi=10.1016/s0140-6736(05)71088-6}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=The Thula Project|url=http://pioneersofhealth.maker.good.is/projects/Thula|publisher=pioneersofhealth.maker.good.is|accessdate=July 6, 2015}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=|first1=|title=Health Care - South Africa|url=http://www.gov.za/about-sa/health|publisher=www.gov.za/about-sa/health|accessdate=July 1, 2015}} 12. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/family/baby-toddler/a-box-that-could-save-babies-1.1685808#.VZqWx_mqpBc|title=A box that could save babies|last=Fredericks|first=Ilse|publisher=www.iol.co.za|date=May 9, 2014|accessdate=July 6, 2015}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Royal baby: William and Catherine get Finnish baby box|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-23138306|publisher=www.bbc.com|accessdate=July 7, 2015}} 1 : Babycare |
