This figure as a "litmus test" expresses the overall development of the country". "I think the "Breathe, baby" project is one of the most efficient and effective. In my opinion, employees and volunteers of the foundation may write to their account at least 200 saved lives of newborns, who fortunately regularly appear in maternity and perinatal centers of our country. Without sponsors, partners and friends, this process would have been impossible",- summed up the vice-president of the "AYALA" charity foundation Zhangeldy SARSENOV.
