HOPE's Chakhama, Azad Kashmir MCHC is one of six medical facilities HOPE has established in the mountainous and rugged terrain of the Northern Areas of Pakistan in order to provide timely and quality access to healthcare to needy populations. Although these facilities are primarily focused on reducing Maternal and Infant Mortality in the region, they play a vital role in providing healthcare to all members of the community.
Due to HOPE's established presence in the Azad Kashmir region, the Azad Kashmir Department of Health approached HOPE in May 2024 to operate and manage an 24/7 MCHC for marginalized communities within Chakhama, Azad Kashmir . HOPE's Chakhama MCHC is a joint collaboration conducted with the backing and support of the Azad Kashmir Department of Health.
Ms. Sumbul is an instrumental member of HOPE's medical staff at Chakhama MCHC . Together, she and her colleagues provide free/nominal cost healthcare to 15,000 needy people annually. Her duties include:

Creating a tangible impact involves many steps along a long chain which begins with our supporters. Thank you to all our dedicated donors for helping pave the way for change in underserved regions throughout Pakistan . We are most appreciative of the changes that you have sparked .
Warm regards,
The HOPE USA , HOPE UK , and HOPE Pakistan Teams
