The First Breath: Stories of Life and Science 

Every story begins the same way—with a first breath. 
It’s the most universal act there is, yet behind that single moment lies a world of science, struggle, and extraordinary discovery. 
 
The First Breath: Stories of Life and Science brings together voices from medicine, research, and lived experience to explore how we nurture life from its very beginning. From breakthrough innovations in maternal and newborn care to the quiet heroism of women shaping the future of health, this event invites us to look closer at what it means to give every child the best possible start. 
 
It’s a story of resilience and renewal—where science meets humanity, and small acts of care ripple out to change the world. 
 
Join us for an evening of ideas, inspiration, and stories that remind us how life, in all its complexity, begins with something beautifully simple: the first breath.
