Kulsuma
Dear HOPE Supporter,
We like to share with you the women you directly support with your contributions.
Kulsuma is 21 years old, Rohingya Refugee and pregnant with her second child.
Kulsuma is ensuring she is protecting herself and her baby against emergencies and creating plans for herself. She has completed her first ANC already. “HOPE is helping me to stay strong and healthy during my pregnancy,” says Kulsuma smilingly.
Her husband was killed before she arrived to the Refugee Camps in Bangladesh, now she is alone with her child.
Kulsuma feels safe with a staff of supportive members and knows she is under excellent care at HOPEs Clinic.
Thank you for supporting women like Kulsuma and ensuring a healthy pregnancy, delivery, and a healthy infant.
Best Regards,
Johanna Hansing

Safe Delivery for Mothers
By Johanna Hansing | Program Officer

Dear HOPE Supporter,
Recently, HOPE was fortunate enough to be able to help the Rohingya Refugees Mother opening a Health Camp in the Camps. which are essential for a safe and sanitary birth for both the mother and child. These kits are particularly helpful in settings where there is no skilled attendant present, but are also useful in remote, rural hospitals such as HOPE Hospital. Here at HOPE, we are aware that many mothers will not come to the hospital for delivery or have a skilled professional in attendance at their birth. This is unfortunate, however, we are realistic and know that many mothers are still delivering at home. That being said, we are asking mothers who are delivering at our hospital to help us spread the message. We are using the clean birth kits at the hospital during deliveries so the mother can see the benefits of the kits, and then asking the mother to take a kit back to her community to show other mothers how it is used. We want mothers to demand for themselves a cleaner/safer birth. Word of mouth from women who delivered with the kit is the best way we know how to send the message to them. Thank you for your support in helping us provide safe delivery.
Best Regards,
Johanna Hansing

Provide SAFE Delivery for Rural Mothers
By Johanna Hansing | Program Officer
Obstructed labor is a direct cause of Bangladesh's high maternal and neonatal mortality rates. In rural areas, over 90% of women give birth at home, at the hands of untrained birth attendants. HOPE aims to give women with high risk pregnancies, safe delivery to save their and their children's lives.
When expectant mothers do not receive antenatal care, high-risk pregnancies – those at risk for obstructed labor, eclampsia, hypertension or other life-threatening pregnancy conditions – go unidentified, and there is no plan for emergency obstetric care. When high-risk women deliver at home without a skilled birth attendant (SBA), they are at risk for post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), sepsis, obstructed labor, and obstetric fistula, all of which can result in the death of the baby or the mother.
