You Saved the Lives of Pinky and Pooja
Thanks to your support, we are able to save life of one more mother and baby. In India, Women face various barriers to visiting a health facility to seek delivery care. These include cost of care, access to clinics, cultural factors, quality of care, and a lack of health awareness. Many mothers in India give their and their children lives due to these factors.
Similarly, Pooja was about to lose her and her baby’s life due to lack of knowledge about institutional delivery and ante natal care. Living in the community where institutional delivery was never promoted, Pooja never realized what she was doing with her. She have not gone for any antenatal checkup until she met Anita, our merrytarang health worker at her 7th month of pregnancy. When Anita come to know about Pooja that she had not seen the doctor ever in her pregnancy, she counseled her and took her to nearby Merry Gold Health Network Madhulok Hospital.
Pooja already developed complication in her pregnancy before her first visit to doctor. But as she visited to the doctor, her complication came into the notice. Only 2 months were left in her delivery and a lot of care was required to save Pooja and her babies life. MGHN Madhulok Hospital provided full support to Pooja. As she was poor and cannot afford the services, HLFPPT supported her in getting free services just because of your contribution. Two months of continuous follow ups and treatment, finally the day of her pregnancy come. The day when the fate of Pooja and her baby was yet to be decided.
After C- Section delivery, the doctor was able to save both Pooja and Pinky. This day have never existed, if Pooja and her family did not agreed to Anita and your contribution was not available for Pooja’s Help.
With your gracious support, we strive to move ahead with our goals and be constant in our endeavor to support and help mothers for safe pregnancy. With utmost consistency, HLFPPT is making efforts to save lives through its MerryGold Health Network by offering affordable and accessible quality services.
