Dear HOPE Friends,
We are excited to share with you the latest addition to our fleet of Maternal ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ผ & Child ๐ง๐ป Health Centers ๐ฅ in the Northern Areas ๐๏ธof Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ!
On May 3, 2024, in conjunction with the Azad Kashmir Department of Health, HOPE launched a MCHC ๐ฅ in Chakhama, Azad Kashmir ๐๏ธ. This facility will provide 24/7 healthcare ๐ฉบ (with a special focus on maternal ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ผ and child ๐ง๐ป services) to the surrounding village ๐ population.
The Azad Kashmir ๐๏ธ Department of Health has donated a vacant facility ๐ฅ and medical supplies ๐ฉบ in order to propel this project forward. HOPE will be contributing their expertise in terms of medical staff for this endeavor.
Maternal ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ผand Infant ๐ง๐ป Mortality is adversely high in Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ due to various factors including high ๐ poverty rates as well as the general lack ๐ซof 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 ๐ซ of healthcare facilities ๐ฅ in these regions - traditionally mothers ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ผ in the Northern Areas ๐๏ธ of Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ 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 ๐ฅ are present, most villagers cannot afford basic human rights such as healthcare ๐ฉบ ._
HOPE has taken the window of opportunity to bridge the gap in the well-researched fact that 33% of Maternal ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ผ deaths and 80% of Infant ๐ง๐ป deaths in Pakistan ๐ต๐ฐ are preventable. We have made it a priority to save precious lives โค๏ธโ๐ฉน. 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:
๐ท $10: Support 3 Prenatal Visits for a Pregnant Mother ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ผ
๐ท $20: Support the Cost of 2 Ultrasounds ๐ผ

Warm regards,
