Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus met with ou

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus met with our Founder and CEO Dr Aqil Jaigirdar this week.

Dr Jaigirdar stated “It was an absolute honour to be invited by Professor Yunus during his official visit to the UK.

I had the privilege of sharing the work we’ve been doing at Maa - a movement powered by students and professionals, committed to tackling maternal mortality and health inequalities across Bangladesh.

Over the past 10 years, what began as a grassroots effort has grown into an international team of over 250, delivering free maternal care to more than 500,000 women.

A decade of hard work, community trust and an unshakeable belief in equitable healthcare. With one vision: To revolutionise global maternal health.

And we won’t stop until we achieve it.”

Throwing it back to an unforgettable Maa Gala last Saturday — a night filled with celebration, connection, and inspiration.

🌍 Celebrating Innovation in Maternal Health Res

🌍 Celebrating Innovation in Maternal Health Research 🌎

We were proud to present our Inaugural Poster Presentation at this year’s MAA Gala — an inspiring evening that brought together clinicians, academics, and advocates committed to advancing maternal health in resource-limited settings.

A heartfelt thank you to all who submitted abstracts and to our Academics Team for curating the programme. It was a joy to see our presenters engaging with guests, sharing their work, and forming meaningful connections for future collaboration.

The research and reflections showcased were not only academically focused but deeply aligned with MAA’s mission: to promote equity, evidence-based care, and global partnership in improving outcomes for mothers and their families.

👏 A special congratulations to our prize winner, Iman Yahya, medical student at Barts and The London School of Medicine, for her outstanding contribution.

From the mothers we serve, to the Maa clinics we operate globally, and our campaigns tackling period poverty — the gallery captured it all. It was incredibly well-received by our guests, and we’re excited to make it a staple in future events!
