Healthy mum and baby
"I have been checked by the doctor and we have been given postnatal care and medicines." - Meera, Pakistan
Your gift helps mothers like Meera get the care they need when it matters most.
The flood came in the middle of the night and that’s when Meera went into labour. Her husband carried her through the water to the hospital, where she gave birth. The next day, they returned home to find everything destroyed and their village surrounded by floodwater. Both mother and baby fell ill.
Meera found her way to a free medical camp run by staff supported by CAFOD’s local partners. Doctors checked her and her newborn, provided medicines, and gave her the postnatal support she needed to keep her baby healthy through the crisis.
Meera was one of 30 million people affected by Pakistan’s devastating floods. During emergencies like this, access to healthcare in those first days and weeks can make all the difference for a mother and her child.
Your gift funds medical camps, postnatal checkups, nutritious food, and medicines for vulnerable mothers and newborns in communities hit by disaster.
