Dear HOPE Friends,
We are excited to share with you the latest addition to our fleet of Maternal 👩🏻🍼 & Child 🧒🏻 Health Centers 🏥 in the Northern Areas 🏔️of Pakistan 🇵🇰!
On May 3, 2024, in conjunction with the Azad Kashmir Department of Health, HOPE launched a MCHC 🏥 in Chakhama, Azad Kashmir 🏔️. This facility will provide 24/7 healthcare 🩺 (with a special focus on maternal 👩🏻🍼 and child 🧒🏻 services) to the surrounding village 🛖 population.
The Azad Kashmir 🏔️ Department of Health has donated a vacant facility 🏥 and medical supplies 🩺 in order to propel this project forward. HOPE will be contributing their expertise in terms of medical staff for this endeavor.
Maternal 👩🏻🍼and Infant 🧒🏻 Mortality is adversely high in Pakistan 🇵🇰 due to various factors including high 📈 poverty rates as well as the general lack 🚫of government-sponsored interventions for the poor. It is not surprising that in remote and rural areas this problem is further compounded due to the dearth 🚫 of healthcare facilities 🏥 in these regions - traditionally mothers 👩🏻🍼 in the Northern Areas 🏔️ of Pakistan 🇵🇰 have given birth in their homes. Unfortunately, when labor complications have arisen, healthcare facilities are often too far away to access in a timely manner. And even if facilities 🏥 are present, most villagers cannot afford basic human rights such as healthcare 🩺 ._
HOPE has taken the window of opportunity to bridge the gap in the well-researched fact that 33% of Maternal 👩🏻🍼 deaths and 80% of Infant 🧒🏻 deaths in Pakistan 🇵🇰 are preventable. We have made it a priority to save precious lives ❤️🩹. To date, we honored to report that with this latest addition, we currently operate a total of 11 MCHCs, 4 Hospitals, 1 Basic Health Unit, and 2 Mobile Health Units throughout Pakistan
