HOPE HAS ESTABLISHED AN MCH CENTER AT MUZAFFARGARH PUNJAB

 

At HOPE - A Health NGO in Pakistan we believe maternal health is particularly important because of the impacts it has on the future generations and communities. Not only does access to good quality maternal healthcare ensure the good health of a mother, but her good health also helps to ensure the good health of her newborn child and the rest of her family.

Yousuf Foundation joined hands with HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan, for the establishment of 3 MCH Centers to be built in rural areas in Pakistan. Two of which were built in Garhi Habibullah, KPK and the other at Mansehra, KPK. While the third and most recent one was recently constructed at Basti Shakirwali Mozah Jesalwain, Jhang Road, Muzaffargarh, Punjab.

 Muzaffargarh, Punjab. The inauguration of which was conducted on 19^th October 2023.

This is a 5 bed MCH Center, consisting of a delivery room, C-Section machine, oxygen, medicines, nebulizers.  The staff in this MCH Center consists of an LHV, Dispenser and a cleaner. The types of medical problems faced here are mostly flu, cold, cough, skin problems, diarrhea, maternity and gynecological related complains.  People living in rural areas have no access to primary health care facilities which leads to sever health complications which may even result in death.

It has been just 3 weeks since the MCH at Muzaffargarh started and so far it has been doing quite well. Approximately 25-30 OPD and general patients visit this MCH on daily basis, and the number of patients per day is increasing with every passing day. The patients of that area spread their positive experience about our MCH among their relatives and friends circle, which increases awareness through which more patients can benefit.

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla A Child Specialist in Karachi, who is also the founder and Chairperson of HOPE; from the very beginning has been striving hard and collaborating with local as well as International organizations through which they can support us in our cause in providing health care facilities and services to the need communities throughout Pakistan, by establishing Hospitals, Mobile Health Units, Mother & Child Healthcare and other Clinics, where patients are treated at a minimal or free of cost.
