EMPOWERING MOTHERS THROUGH PATIENTS’ AID FOUNDATION’S DEDICATION

Motherhood is a love story woven with sacrifice, as mothers tirelessly dedicate themselves to raising their children. Their strength remains steadfast, enduring the pain, trauma, and challenges of pregnancy and childbirth. Their selflessness knows no bounds, they are like guardian angels guiding us with love and care through life’s journey.

However, these angels often suffer under financial burdens. Many underprivileged women in rural areas of Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab face challenges accessing quality healthcare and tragically lose their lives during pregnancy and childbirth. Affordability becomes a significant barrier, often pushing them to surrender to under-equipped facilities with limited resources or, in some cases, receive no healthcare at all.

In Pakistan, maternal healthcare faces significant challenges, including limited access to quality healthcare services due to financial constraints and geographical remoteness, which leads to high maternal mortality rates. Cultural norms also contribute majorly, such as early marriage and limited decision-making power for women, further hinder access to healthcare.

Mother’s Day gives us a moment to reflect on the struggles of these mothers, who face obstacles in accessing healthcare, particularly during pregnancy and childbirth. These women, often from underprivileged backgrounds, struggle to afford essential medical services.

PATIENTS’ AID FOUNDATION: A LIFELINE FOR MOTHERS

Patients Aid Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing financial assistance to underprivileged patients seeking treatment at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) in Karachi, Pakistan. Founded in 1961, the organisation has touched countless lives, alleviating the financial burden on families struggling with medical emergencies.

Recognizing the need to enhance maternal healthcare, the Patients’ Aid Foundation, supported by generous donors, inaugurated a new Gynaecology and Obstetrics Ward at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) Karachi. This initiative aims to benefit over 25,000 women annually, providing comprehensive maternity and gynaecological care. 

Patients Aid Foundation recognizes that motherhood is just one chapter in a woman’s health journey. The Dr. Shereen Zulfiqar Bhutta Gynaecology and Obstetrics Ward goes beyond just delivering babies. It emphasises crucial aspects of women’s health, including family planning and post-pregnancy care. This holistic approach empowers women to take control of their health and well-being, fostering a healthier future for themselves and their families.

Furthermore, the Patients’ Aid Foundation, in collaboration with Lipton, showcased their dedication and commitment to improving maternal healthcare at JPMC. Focusing on women in rural areas, this partnership ensures access to advanced obstetrics and gynaecology services previously out of reach due to financial constraints. This marks a significant milestone, not only for Karachi’s mothers but also for women across Pakistan seeking quality healthcare.
