Vital Pakistan Trust

VITAL’s story began in Rehri Goth – an impoverished peri-urban community of over 60,000 residents on the outskirts of Karachi, Pakistan. Through baseline surveys conducted in the community in 2012 and 2013, we learned that Rehri Goth had a neonatal mortality of 57 deaths per thousand live births and an under-5 mortality of 107 deaths per thousand live births. A comprehensive vision of health was needed to help those consistently left behind. Vital Pakistan Trust is present in over 40 sites across Karachi, providing free healthcare services to Mothers and Children.
