SYDNEY, Jan. 8, 2026 -- We are proud to announce the launch of an international initiative focused on supporting preterm infant care. This effort is based on a foundation of cross-border cooperation and deep social responsibility, reflecting our commitment to the most vulnerable newborns.
As part of this vital program, we are actively donating our independently developed preterm baby diapers to hospitals, non-profit organizations, and healthcare institutions across multiple countries.
Preterm birth remains a major global health issue. An estimated 1 in 10 babies worldwide is born preterm. Complications from preterm birth are a leading cause of death for children under five, linked to nearly 1 in 5 of these deaths.
Despite this, many preterm infants lack access to specialized products and care, highlighting an urgent need for dedicated solutions in the earliest stages of life.
This program is made possible by our dedicated research and development team, who worked tirelessly to create these specialized diapers. The donated products were specifically developed for preterm and low-birth-weight infants weighing 0–3 kilograms. The cut of these diapers was exclusively tailored to the delicate, smaller physique of premature babies, which helps ensure a secure and comfortable fit while minimizing friction.
Key features of our preterm diapers include: an ultra-soft hot-air non-woven fabric, a mildly acidic top sheet aligned with a baby’s natural skin pH to help reduce irritation, an eco-friendly “tree-free” absorption core, and a protective umbilical cord cut-out designed to safeguard the sensitive umbilical stump. The diapers are also clinically tested for sensitive and preterm skin.
The initiative is currently active in collaboration with healthcare partners across several nations, including the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Uganda, and Kiribati. Close work is underway with local medical teams and institutions to ensure the donations reach the infants and families who need them most.
In the Dominican Republic, Aiwibi provided support to the Kangaroo Unit at Hospital San Lorenzo de Los Mina, furnishing specialized supplies that benefited 67 families with preterm infants. In The Philippines, the partnership with the UST Hospital Department of Pediatrics – Section of Newborn Medicine to observe World Prematurity Day helped raise critical awareness for preterm infants while Aiwibi supplied specialized diapers to support essential neonatal care.
A strong commitment is made to expanding this reach and continuing to build strong relationships with partners dedicated to preterm infant health worldwide.
The program’s next phase will expand into additional countries, including Chile, Malaysia, Vietnam, Colombia, South Africa, and others, with a long-term goal of donating one million specialized preterm diapers worldwide.
"Our mission has always been to combine innovation with compassion," says our company spokesperson. "Through this initiative, we aim to support dedicated healthcare providers and families while helping ensure preterm infants receive care products designed specifically for their unique needs."
This initiative reflects Aiwibi’s long-standing commitment to global collaboration and social responsibility. We emphasize practical action, strong partnership, and generating a long-term impact in tackling crucial global neonatal care challenges.
