Leger Uten Grenser (MSF) is an independent, international, humanitarian, medical Organisation with a presence in 60 countries to date. MSF provides medical assistance to populations who are victims of armed conflict but also epidemics and pandemics or natural catastrophes, who are lacking care, based on their needs, without discrimination according to religion, philosophy or politics.

Project Context

Access to healthcare remains a challenge in Pakistan, especially for people in isolated rural communities, urban slums and areas affected by conflict.

Healthcare for women and children is a serious concern: women in rural areas die from preventable complications during pregnancy and delivery, and neonatal care is unavailable in many areas: according to the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey, one in every 11 children dies before the age of five. MSF continues to support health authorities in responding to urgent needs.
