Brief Overview

Mama Baby Fund is a non-profit organization working to improve maternal, newborn, and gynecological healthcare access for underserved communities in Pakistan. Established in 2015, the organization supports women and newborns by reducing financial and structural barriers to essential healthcare services during pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, and early infancy.

Its work includes operating a free clinic on Baba Island for coastal communities, providing a 24/7 boat ambulance for emergency transport, facilitating referrals to partner hospitals, and offering financial support for deliveries, surgeries, NICU admissions, medicines, diagnostics, and blood transfusions. Mama Baby Fund also supports gynecological care, newborn surgeries, hospital upgrades, care package distribution, and midwifery education.

In 2024–2025, the organization supported 185 neonatal ICU admissions, 500 deliveries and C-sections, 1,360 antenatal patients, and 1,350 boat ambulance users, while serving nearly 50,000 people across island communities. Its aim is to ensure that women and families can access safe, respectful, and quality healthcare regardless of income or location.

What Makes Our Approach Distinct

Mama Baby Fund’s model is unique because it combines community-based care with hospital partnerships to ensure continuity of support from pregnancy to newborn recovery. Our free clinic and 24/7 boat ambulance provide direct access for underserved island communities that are otherwise cut off from healthcare. We work closely with local midwives, community facilitators, and partner hospitals, creating trust and long-term community ownership. By combining emergency financial support, referrals, and preventive care, we provide a sustainable and practical healthcare model for vulnerable families.

Impact Stories

Aneela’s Story
Aneela, a 26-year-old woman from costal community (Shamspir), was expecting her first pregnancy and received antenatal care at Neha’s Clinic before being referred to Lady Dufferin Hospital for specialized monitoring. During pregnancy, she developed Gestational Diabetes and later arrived with fever, body aches, and shivering. She was diagnosed with Malaria, severe Thrombocytopenia, and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever.

Due to her critical condition, Mama Baby Foundation arranged her emergency transfer to RIMS Hospital within one hour for tertiary care. During admission, Aneela delivered premature twin girls at 33 weeks. Both babies were admitted to NICU due to prematurity, IUGR, and low birth weight (1.7 kg and 1.6 kg).

After 10 days of treatment, transfusions, and continuous support from Mama Baby Foundation, Aneela and her babies recovered well and returned home safely.
