www.JustParking.co.za: Bradford is a friendly, exciting and diverse city and has grown to be the fifth biggest in the UK. But recent reports have highlighted that the city's health is a cause for concern. Particularly worrying is that Bradford's infant mortality rate - the number of babies who die before they reach their first birthday - is amongst the highest in the country.
From from October 2006, all babies born in Bradford were recruited into the Born in Bradford research project. Their health is being tracked from pregnancy through childhood and into adult life. Data gathered will be analysed to shed light on why some people become ill and others do not.
The Born in Bradford projcet boasts Mr. Imran Kahn and Baroness Lockwood as patrons.
The Leeds Bradford International Airport has now agreed to have a Mumtaz vending machine in their international arrivals hall, in support of the Born in Bradford initiative.
The Mumtaz machine sells delicious Lassi yoghurt drinks – and all of the profits from the machine in the airport will go towards the Born in Bradford study.
Miles Scott, Chief Executive of the foundation trust, said: “Born in Bradford relies upon the support of the local community so the backing of Mumtaz and the airport is fantastic news”.
“It’s a massive project and we need as much support and help from the community as possible so that we can make a real difference in improving the health of children, not just in Bradford, but across the world.”
