We’re pleased to share that CMV Action has been featured in the Good Health section of the Daily Mail, in an important article titled:
“Why aren’t pregnant mums warned about common virus they can catch from toddlers that leaves their babies deaf?”
This in-depth piece brings much-needed attention to congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV). It shares the stories of two families, Carla and her daughter Emilia, and Nancy and her son Otis, the article highlights the reality of living with congenital CMV and the urgent need for better awareness and prevention.
Crucially, it also outlines the simple hygiene measures that can significantly reduce the risk of CMV infection during pregnancy—information that all expectant parents deserve to know.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the families involved and our Patron, Professor Paul Griffiths, and our Medical Advisor, Professor Hermione Lyall, for their contributions to the article.
Raising awareness is at the heart of everything we do. With national coverage like this, we’re one step closer to ensuring that every pregnant woman is informed about CMV and how to protect their baby.
