HOPE Launches its 11th MCHC 🏥 in Collaboration with the Azad Kashmir 🏔️ Department of Health

Updated: May 21

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


Please join us in our efforts - your generous donation towards these endeavors is readily helping us to save lives:


🔷 $10: Support 3 Prenatal Visits for a Pregnant Mother 👩🏻‍🍼


🔷 $20: Support the Cost of 2 Ultrasounds 🚼

🔷$75: Support Phototherapy for a Jaundiced Infant 👶🏼

🌹Thank you to all our supporters - you are the fuel behind our efforts to reduce Maternal 👩🏻‍🍼 and Infant 🧒🏻 Mortality rates in Pakistan 🇵🇰!


Warm regards,


The HOPE USA 🇺🇸 🇵🇰, HOPE UK 🇬🇧 🇵🇰, and HOPE Pakistan 🇵🇰 Teams
