One of the results of this cooperation are the High Risk Pregnancy (HRP) Referral Cards: a portable set of tear-resistant cards, which is part of a more comprehensive toolkit aiming to support early detection of high risk pregnancies, and to encourage referral to health facilities for safe delivery.
Now, the ICRC is going to integrate the High Risk Pregnancy Referral cards in their Digital Primary Care Resources Center. The integration of this jointly created tool in the ICRC’s way of working is an important milestone in its rollout.
Innovation does not have to be high-tech to make a meaningful difference to people’s lives, but it does need to be developed collaboratively by experts who know and care about what matters most – understanding the needs of people they are trying to help. That is why Philips and the Philips Foundation support the needs identified by the ICRC in countries affected by war and violence.

I’m proud to see that – in partnership with the ICRC – we developed and deployed the HRP cards. We are committed to help scale the impact of the referral cards on the basis of further deployment in relevant settings.

The HRP cards are the result of a simple, yet meaningful, co-creation process. Following feedback from both staff and communities, the cards have been updated and now can be seamlessly integrated into ICRC’s primary health care resource center and be made available to all health delegates to leverage in operations
Esperanza Martinez
Head of Health, ICRC
With the HRP cards it is easier for me to convince the mother and the family about the importance of being referred to a health facility. I can show them the pictures and because it has the logo of the ICRC, the community has more trust.
