Using Ehealth to Improve Access to Healthcare in Pakistan

Pakistan faces health care challenges similar to many other developing nations. While the government is responsible for providing health care to all of its ctizens, about 60 percent lack access to even basic care. Much of the problem stems from a lack of medical professionals, most of which are located in urban areas. In an effort of address the health care shortfall, the Pakistan Ministry of Health is increasing usage of eHealth programs and services that can more easily provide care to rural populations.

Maham, a 24 month old toddler with Down’s  Syndrome, was admitted to the pediatric ward of  R.B.U.T Civil Hospital in Shikarpur in February. Her family is very poor; their daily income is only 200 rupees (about  $2) and she is the youngest of 9 siblings. Maham was admitted to the hospital with a fever, cough and breathing difficulties, and her condition was steadily increasing in severity prior to her admission at the hospital. While at the hospital, she was diagnosed with  malnutrition and acute  bronchial pneumonia, and consequently admitted to the stabilization center for nutrition and treatment of her pneumonia  . There she was given much love and care. The support SHINE gave to Maham and her family helped them gain hope where they had none. Thankfully, Maham is now recovered and is happily back home.

Thank you for   helping  us in the care of Maham. Please continue to support our cause so that we can keep helping  the many others like Maham  who are admitted to the ward everyday.
