Doctors, midwives and psychosocial counsellors are essential in any humanitarian crisis, offering lifesaving support to pregnant women and new mothers and their infants. They conduct essential check-ups, help deliver babies amid truly challenging settings - often using UNFPA’s reproductive health kits - and tend to the special needs of women and girls which are otherwise overlooked in a crisis. This doctor at the Rural Health Center near Thatta in Sindh Province, Pakistan is just one of the many women humanitarians providing critical health services with care and compassion globally.
