Jessica's Trust was started as a campaign by Jessica Palmer's husband, Ben, in early 2007. Jessica tragically passed away from childbed fever, after the uncomplicated birth of their second child.
By signing the petition you will be helping to save lives. You will be asking the the Prime Minister to ensure that every new mother has regular observations recorded on a Modified Early Obstetric Warning System (MEOWS) chart in hospital and in the community and is given clear information and advice on the recognition of childbed fever (also known as puerperal fever and genital tract sepsis) and that doctors and midwives are given clear sepsis guidelines.
The petition has been submitted by Ben Palmer of Jessica's Trust –
Deadline to sign up by: 03 November 2009 – Signatures: 2,851
Please add your name to the petition, today. There is only one month left until the deadline, lets support Ben to get the tremendous response his campaign deserves.
