Bangladesh: Helpster’s Focus on Maternal and Child Health
Bangladesh grapples with maternal and child health issues. Maternal mortality rates are alarmingly high in rural areas while, according to UNICEF, one in six children dies before their fifth birthday because of issues around limited healthcare. We're tackling the challenge by prioritising children and pregnant women in our healthcare funding and medical outreaches.
Through our medical charity in Bangladesh, enabled by the generosity of donors, several women and children have received medicare and crucial health education, thereby reducing preventable deaths and enhancing the wellbeing of these Asians.
