Doctors Worldwide

Doctors WorldWide has carefully designed a project to help reduce one of the most preventable and urgent needs in Pakistan: neonatal mortality. We have identified the main causes of neonatal mortality in Pakistan; preterm birth and sepsis.

Our project mobilises the necessary logistic and human resources to reduce each of these outcomes within three years in one of the most deprived areas of Sindh, ShahdadKot. This taluka has been severely affected by the recent flooding in Pakistan and is predicted to expect higher levels of neonatal mortality compared to national data of 53 per 1000 live births.
