Case study: Healthcare for mothers and babies in Pakistan
"I have been checked by the doctor and we have been given postnatal care and medicines." Meera, Pakistan
The flood came in the middle of the night and that’s when Meera began to give birth. As she battled through the painful contractions, her husband fought through the water to take her to hospital.
The next day she was discharged with her newborn baby, but when they returned home, everything was destroyed and the whole village was surrounded by water. That’s when they both fell ill.
Meera took herself and her baby to a free medical camp in her village run by medical staff supported by CAFOD, where they received essential postnatal care and medicines.
Meera is one of 30 million people who were affected by the floods in Pakistan. During an emergency, it’s essential that mothers and their children receive life-saving healthcare.
