Thanks to King Charles, 40 women are now pregnant; Read more
New Delhi: King Charles helped 40 couples celebrate parenting and the birth of their babies by setting up a holistic fertility programme as part of his 'Royal Health Service'.
The innovative project at Dumfries House, a restored Scottish stately home, presents a variety of complementary therapies aimed at enhancing pregnancy chances. Participants, many of whom have exhausted all available NHS assistance and face significant expenses for private treatments, are given the opportunity to explore acupuncture, reflexology, massage, yoga, and hypnotherapy. This free course, accepting both GP and self-referrals, also includes relationship counselling, cookery classes, and dance lessons.
Now, marking its fifth anniversary, the MoS can disclose that the Fertility Wellbeing programme has contributed to the birth of 40 new babies. Operated by the Prince's Foundation, which oversees Dumfries House, the project has seen half of its female participants, including some previously deemed 'infertile,' become mothers shortly after. This is in stark contrast to the average birth rate of around 20 per cent for IVF patients in the UK.
The expenses of running this service are fully covered by the Prince's Foundation, thanks to donations from private benefactors and profits from Dumfries House Estate.
The initiative is part of the multi-million-pound Health and Wellbeing programme at Dumfries House, often referred to as the 'Royal NHS,' which also provides holistic treatments for chronic pain, diabetes, anxiety, and menopause symptoms.
This achievement is the realization of years of planning to bring King Charles' vision for a better society to life, encompassing diverse areas such as organic farming and eco-housing.
