Provide SAFE Delivery for Rural Mothers

Dear friend,

As you might know, 9 in 10 women in southern Bangladesh give birth at home, without any access to trained medical help. If something goes wrong during labor, a woman is at critical risk for developing a serious injury, or death.

Injuries like these are preventable, but the health situation in Bangladesh is dire, with a ratio of only 3 doctors and 1 nurse available for every 10,000 people. Compounding this problem, 1 in 4 Bangladeshis live below the poverty line, and 70 percent of this population resides in rural areas. Many cannot afford health care, let alone transportation to reach it.

At our HOPE hospital, we provide free SAFE deliveries to those mothers who otherwise can not afford it. We are able to do so, because of generous people like you believing in our activities.

Last week we opened the second Operation Theater. Now the number of c-section & general patients will increase and we appreciate your support more than ever because it is what make our activities possible.

Thank you again, we are putting your gift right to work.

Very best,

Thank you for your support in providing safe delivery for rural mothers in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh.

We are excited to announce that due to a successful project whereby we were able to increase the amount of pregnant mothers who receive antenatal care and those who chose a skilled attendant for her delivery, we opened 5 HOPE Maternity Care Corner.

This Centers are 24 hours on call, providing: pregnant women enrollment, counseling on dos and don'ts of pregnancy and postpartum period, providing supplementation, ANC visit scheduling and calling patients for follow-up and visit reminders.

All of these activities, particularly receiving proper education on safe delivery and care for themselves and their newborns, all encourage the utilization of a trained medical professional for delivery. Particularly, if the expectant mother receives an ultrasound during her antenatal care checks and it denotes that she is bearing a high-risk pregnancy, the mother is much more likely to make the critical decision to receive the care she needs in a medical facility such as HOPE hospital.

For those mothers who cannot afford the care she requires for a safe delivery, we turn to supporters like you who give her and her baby a fighting chance.

Thank you again!
