Maternal and Child Health Cen...

Pakistan Maternal and Child Statistics

Consider the dire reality in Pakistan with regards to maternal and infant health:

A 2018 UNICEF report revealed that Pakistan has the highest Infant Mortality Rate in the world – newborns here face a one in 22 chance of dying within a month of birth

Pakistan has a Maternal Mortality Rate of 127/100,000 which accounts for 28 percent of the global total

Every 37 minutes, one woman dies giving birth in Pakistan (14,000 woman every year)

HOPE For the Future

The good news is that many of these deaths are preventable:

80 percent of newborn deaths are preventable with trained midwives, clean water, proper hygiene, and breastfeeding within the first hour

Out of the 14,000 deaths of women due to childbirth, 1/3 of these are preventable (4,500 per year)
