Maternal and child health is the first call on every outreach.

  • Free antenatal care, safe delivery support and immunisation
  • Pregnant women, nursing mothers and children seen ahead of the queue
  • Female health workers at every women's health desk
§ Overview

What this programme is

Distance and cost keep too many families from care until an illness becomes an emergency. This initiative brings qualified medical teams into the wards themselves.

Women and children are the primary beneficiaries: antenatal care, safe delivery support, immunisation and family health services are delivered free at every outreach.

Our outreaches also provide general consultation, treatment and essential medicines at no cost, alongside preventive health education.
