The report indicates that Pakistan ranks 26thin the list of countries with high infant mortality rates. SKMF also works on tracking and improving the nutrition of the students in our adopted schools. Enrolled students receive regular checkups and basic medical provisions. SKMF is providing students and teachers with basic health checkups at the Quaideen Campus. From October – November, all 1200 students were given a complete systematic physical examination which includes nutritional assessment, ENT and oral hygiene checkups. Furthermore, any students needing immediate attention will be referred to specialists. SKMF believes that along with academics, the students’ health also needs to be addressed as health is vital for good academic progress.[/fusion_text][/one_half][one_half last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”#ededed” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding=”15px” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”0″ animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]

WHY?

Pakistan’s infant and maternal mortality rate is alarmingly high and while access to basic healthcare is a fundamental right, very few enjoy this right. For many even the most common injuries and illnesses go unnoticed or untreated due to lack of access doctors or due to healthcare facilities in the area being understaffed and ill equipped. An impoverished community leads to backward development (what does this mean?) and poor growth. Overpopulation of cities is one of the major factors contributing to the heavy burden on local healthcare facilities that leaves many impoverished segments of society unable to access our healthcare systems.[/fusion_text][/one_half][one_half last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”#ededed” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” padding=”15px” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]
