Pakistan is facing manifold challenges in the health sector with high maternal and child mortality, high unmet need for family planning services, gender based inequalities and lack of awareness about rights.
Speakers revealed this in a three-day workshop on quality of care in service provision of sexual reproductive health, mother and child health and family planning organised by Rahnuma-Family Planning Association of Pakistan. The workshop participants included representatives from RFPAP's nation-wide field offices and hospitals.
The organisation provides basic health, family planning and reproductive health cure services through 11 hospitals and over 100 family health clinics across Pakistan. In addition, a network of private practitioners, community based distributors and other NGOs clinics support the organisation to expand its services to most under-serve and poor communities of the country.
