UNHQ, New York: One businessman is shifting the focus of the United Nations headquarters, where world leaders address some of the most pressing global issues, to a critical but sometimes overlooked problem. Saint Bella Group Founder & CEO Danny Xiang, Oxford-educated business entrepreneur, believes postpartum care should be a right rather than a privilege. With his position as Secretary General of the World Youth Leader Union, he is advocating major policy changes that would make mother’s health a universal right.
Speaking at the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), Xiang described his vision for a time when every new mother, from all walks of life, has access to the care she requires for physical and psychological recovery. With almost 100 sites spread over 28 cities, his company, Saint Bella Group, is already the biggest upscale postpartum care provider in Asia. But Xiang's goals go much beyond corporate expansion; he aims to reshape world mother’s healthcare.
A Business Model Complementing the Sustainable Objectives of the UN
For Xiang, maternal health is a human right—and those ideas permeate Saint Bella's activities. The company's initiatives line up rather precisely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
Saint Bella promises mothers the required physical and emotional support by offering first-rate postpartum care, so SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being
SDG 5: Gender Equality – The company aggressively supports working women by advocating family-friendly business policies and so empowering female healthcare professionals.
SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Saint Bella brings quality mother healthcare to underprivileged areas using digital postpartum services run under artificial intelligence.
The push to include postpartum care in government-subsidized healthcare is a direct call to policymakers to prioritize maternal well-being as part of national health strategies. At the same time, businesses are being urged to play their part by working together to create a supportive, family-friendly workplace ecosystem—one that empowers working mothers and promotes long-term health and productivity for families.
Building the Bridge across Policies and Innovation
One of Xiang's main concerns is that financial limitations still keep millions of women from receiving maternal healthcare. This disproportionately influences low-income areas; He is thus aggressively supporting thus, postpartum care is more of a right than a privilege.
Advocating national funding and insurance policies supporting postpartum care, Xiang hopes to close the healthcare gap for underprivileged mothers, so reducing inequalities.
His advocacy of paid postpartum leave and corporate projects supporting working mothers seeks to guarantee that women no longer have to pick between career and well-being.
For Xiang, technology is also quite useful. Saint Bella is currently developing, AI-powered 24/7 Digital Postpartum Care Assistant which offers mothers, especially those living in remote locations, real-time assistance. This digital tool offers direction on nutrition, mental health, and infant care, so ensuring that all mothers—regardless of location—have access to vital information .. Saint Bella is thus also advancing SDG 4 – Quality Education by arming newly mothers with the knowledge they need to look after themselves and their children.
A Vision for the Future: Universal Maternal Health
Danny Xiang's work shows how business, creativity, and policy might propel actual change as debates on gender equality and healthcare carry on at the United Nations. His objective was to democratize postpartum care, so enabling every mother—not just in Asia, but everywhere around the world.
By adding technology, corporate responsibility, and policy advocacy, Xiang is redefining mother healthcare and demonstrating that postpartum care should be a right, not a privilege. From boardrooms to policy debates, his point of view is clear: every mother, in any situation, deserves the required care.
