Working for an educated future
In previous years the IEF has focused mainly on addressing basic educational needs of children. This year we have decided to concentrate on health education, in particular maternal health education. Every year over 500,000 women die in childbirth and from pregnancy related complications, and 99% of these deaths are in the developing world.
The IEF in collaboration with Maternity Worldwide is proud to announce the launch of two new projects in Pakistan. We would like to establish:
A “Community Screening Programme for Pre-eclampsia” in two hospitals in Azad Kashmir. This will be supplemented by health education workshops.
A “Centre of Excellence for Maternal Health” in an empty hospital in Punjab.
Over the course of the next academic year we will work tirelessly to raise money to provide the equipment and personnel to establish these projects. Furthermore we will spread awareness of the global inequalities in maternal health, in an attempt to inspire others to work towards reducing maternal mortality in developing countries.
The success of our efforts depends on YOU! Please watch out for more details of our launch event and upcoming lectures!
