Your support makes a difference!

2. Introduction to outreach clinics
Managed by Department of Paediatrics and Child Health
Actively involved in community oriented research of public health importance
Five community based field site offices in
Rehri Goth, Ibrahim Hyderi, Ali Akbar Shah, Bhains Colony, Bilal Colony
Serving a population of 300,000 people
Focuses on research for betterment of women and child health in outskirts of Karachi
Enabling millions to live an improved life
Research Funds available to run the sites till 2020.

3. Purpose of outreach clinics
Research projects undertaken at these clinics are funded by external agencies (Gates foundation)
Over 90% of women and children seeking care are not research participants
Aim is to:
Provide free consultation and medicines
Eliminate malnutrition among expectant and new mothers and their babies
Ensure children have access to primary healthcare and immunization
Reduce child mortality
Improve maternal and child health

4. Challenges of outreach clinics
out of 1,000 children in such communities die before the age of five.
Few women have access to medical care during pregnancy.
Research funding is not available to pay for simple medications like multivitamins.
Lack of proper healthcare facilities, resulting in deliveries by untrained birthing attendants.

5. How we can help We can help to:
Employ healthcare professionals and nurses
Provide free medicines and treatment to 10,000 pregnant women and 80,000 children under the age of five years
AKUH has already set-up clinics in these areas and requires support in terms of operational costs.

6. Why is AKUAANA doing this project with AKU?
REASONS
Giving back to AKU
Supports educational activity of AKU medical students
Provides primary care to women and children. Also special focus on anemia treatment in pregnant women impacting infant mortality and perinatal morbidity.
AKU alumni Anita Zaidi 88 is heading the research program there. So we have feet on ground.
The project is not outrageously expensive, it will cost about $17,000 per year to support the clinic.
