From Rehri Goth to 78 Locations
On the outskirts of Karachi lies Rehri Goth, a fishing community once marginalised and overshadowed by the influence of the drug mafia. Deprived of essential healthcare, the residents faced dire circumstances—mothers and children perished before they could reach a hospital.
With no medical facilities or financial means, women were forced to give birth at home, often leading to life-threatening complications. In 2012-13, the neonatal mortality rate in Rehri Goth stood at a staggering 57 deaths per thousand live births, while under-five mortality reached an alarming 107 per thousand.
With a population exceeding 60,000, these figures underscored an urgent crisis that demanded intervention. Thus began the story of VITAL Pakistan Trust (VPT).
Now, eleven years later, VPT has expanded its operations to seventy-eight locations, steadfast in its mission to provide free maternal, neonatal, and child healthcare (MNCH) services.
