Jhpiego

We’ve been working to protect the health of women and babies since 1997.

• Nearly 125,000 antenatal care visits were conducted by skilled providers at Jhpiego-supported health care facilities, and over 430,000 women delivered their babies with the assistance of a skilled birth attendant at Jhpiego-supported health facilities.
• More than 149,000 postpartum/postabortion women initiated a modern contraceptive method at Jhpiego-supported health care facilities.
• Jhpiego’s advocacy resulted in postpartum family planning strategies being implemented across four provinces, as well as chlorhexidine being included in the country’s approved essential medicines list and misoprostol being added to the essential drug list for Punjab Province (chlorhexidine and misoprostol are both lifesaving medicines, the former to prevent umbilical cord infection and the latter to prevent postpartum bleeding).
• Improved quality of care through training, follow-up and supportive supervision, coupled with an expanded method mix, led to more than 123,000 new users of family planning.
