Wrestling with economic challenges which have existed further exacerbated by the unusual floods, Pakistan is moving more seriously a problem due to damaged roads, infrastructure, and medical structures.
The most affected are pregnant women who are incapable to access proper medical treatment. According to a UN report, 73,000 women are predicted to give birth in the nation this month who require skilled birth attendants, newborn care, and support.
The United Nations Population Fund’s (UNFA) statement calculated that almost 6,50,000 women in labor in flood-affected areas need maternal health services to provide safe pregnancy and childbirth.
Many pregnant women or who have already given birth during the floods told they have been dumped without healthcare. They stated that they don't even have food and pure drinking water to meet their health needs, says news reporting in The Guardian.
