Kela, Finland’s social security provider, has sent a maternity box to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as a gift for the expectant royal couple. The free maternity package, which is given to all parents under the Scandinavian country’s social security system, contains sets of children’s clothes, nappies, bedding child-care products, gauze towels and other useful items for parents.
For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box of baby clothes and bedding by the state. Some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates.
