THE IMPACT IS REAL
10,000 XO carriers have been delivered to 23 perinatal centers — and 24,000 more are already requested. In December 2023, the Dnipro Perinatal Center was struck by a missile strike seven days after receiving XO carriers and training. Every mother and infant evacuated safely, with skin-to-skin contact maintained throughout.If universally applied, the Zero Separation policy will support 23.4 million newborns every year — in a market estimated to reach $7.6 billion by 2035.
