Dear HOPE Supporter,
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 a HOPE Maternity Care Corner. This Maternity Care Corner is open 24 hours a day with two employees staffing this, 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. 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 for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Ashley Pugh
