More that 80,000 patients are treated in these centers on an annual basis.

These MCH Centers is mainly visited by mothers and their children, services like antenatal checkup and ultra sound are provided. The primary purpose why HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan established these MCH Centers is to provide the needed maternal and child health services. To provide antenatal and obstetric care to expectant mothers. The most important thing is saving mothers and newborn lives. Many mothers who are expecting come to these clinics who literally do not find any support during pregnancy; because they depend on traditional birth attendants for home deliveries without ultrasound facilities, which result in difficulties during complicated delivery cases, due to which they are they rushed to hospitals.

One of the core reasons for the formation of these MCH Centers in various areas, is to cater towards the medical needs of the population ratio, who do not have access to medical facilities at a reasonable price in this area.
