Dear HOPE Friends,
HOPE and Asia Petroleum Join Hands ๐ค๐ผ to Renew Healthcare ๐ฉบ for Remote Villagers ๐
This week, HOPE Pakistan Founder, Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla, met with Asia Petroleum executives to renew HOPE's Mobile Health Unit (MHU) collaboration, an ongoing effort which has recently celebrated 14 strong years ๐ of services for the poor.
Asia Petroleum has magnanimously sponsored healthcare ๐ฉบ for approximately 30 remote villages ๐ in Balochistan and Sindh, Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ via HOPE's two MHUs since 2010.
The concept of a MHU stems from HOPE's mission to provide underserved populations in Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ with poverty alleviation โค๏ธโ๐ฉน services such as Healthcare ๐ฉบ, Education ๐, and Vocational Training ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป.
As the name implies, HOPE's MHUs provide basic health services ๐ฉบ to remote villages ๐ which would otherwise not have access to essential careโฃ๏ธ. Special emphasis is given to advancing necessary, life-saving healthcare to vulnerable populations, and within these parameters we take extra strides to reach women ๐ฉ๐ป and children ๐ง๐ป who are often at a disadvantage when it comes to receiving critical interventions.
In 2023, a total of 72,384 patients were treated in both of HOPEโs Mobile Health Clinics. This included: 39,936 children ๐ง๐ป, 17,472 men ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ, and 14,976 women ๐ฉ๐ป.
HOPE's MHUs provide the following healthcare services to remote villages ๐ in Balochistan and Sindh:
๐ถ Treating communicable diseases such as diarrhea, respiratory infections ๐ซ, vomiting ๐คข, and noncommunicable diseases such as malnutrition ๐ฉ
๐ถ Basic medical services ๐ฉบ
๐ถ Gynecologic and obstetric care ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ผ
๐ We are excited to embark on yet another fruitful year of providing services to underprivileged populations with the generosity of Asia Petroleum. We are so thankful for our long-standing partnership with Asia Petroleum and for the measurable impact this collaboration has made upon underserved populations in Pakistan โจ.
Warm regards,
The HOPE USA ๐บ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฐ, HOPE UK ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ต๐ฐ, and HOPE Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ Teams
