HANDS will represent Pakistan as a key partner of Every Pregnancy, joining a global effort to improve maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) and amplify the voices of nonprofit providers across the country.
The strategic meeting that launched this collaboration signals the start of a national movement to unite more nonprofit organisations in strengthening MNCH services. By bringing partners together, the initiative aims to expand access to respectful, dignified care for pregnant women, mothers and newborns in communities across Pakistan.
Aligning with Every Pregnancy frames a shared global mission to save mothers and babies and to safeguard newborns. The partnership emphasises coordinated action, local capacity building and better linkage between community outreach and clinical services to ensure every pregnancy receives the care it deserves.
For Pakistan, this collaboration offers a platform to mobilise resources, foster cooperation among civil society groups and translate international commitments into tangible improvements in maternal and child health. HANDS’ role as the national representative is intended to catalyse wider participation among nonprofits and accelerate progress in MNCH nationwide.
