Expectant Mother Receiving Care
Dear HOPE Supporter,
Reaching women in need of critical care, in the most remote of areas, is always our focus. From finding obstetric fistula patients to enrolling women in our safe delivery program, we rely on our rural networks to help us reach those that would otherwise never be reached. Our HOPE's Mothers' Clubs have now joined a Village Provider Network, consiting of village pharmacists that will now be educated by HOPE and receive discounts on services for their patient referrals, to help us cast a wider net. Already we have seen an increase in fistula patient referrals and increase participation in our special maternal health programs, as a result of this growing rural network. Our Mothers' Clubs are working side by side with these village pharmacists to deliver critical health knoweldge and direct people in need to where they can receive proper, affordable health care. Thank you for your continued support.
Best Regards,
Ashley Pugh

First Time Mother Receiving an Ultrasound
Dear Friend of HOPE,
Thank you for supporting HOPE's Mothers' Clubs, an integral component of our outreach work. I want to share with you what they have been up to recently. We just began a project to provide 1,000 women with antenatal care and to ensure safe delivery for all of the mothers. In addition to providing them services, we are additionally providing counseling and educational support so mothers are given the knowledge they need to keep themselves and their babies safe and healthy. Our Mothers' Clubs have been tasked with creating awareness in the rural villages regarding this project, and going door to door to pregnant women's homes to let them know what care is available to them. The Mothers' Clubs further let the pregnant women understand why it is important to receive proper care during their pregnancy. This is especially important for first time mothers and the younger women in the community who are not aware. We are particularly grateful for the work of our Mothers' Clubs working tirelessly on such critical initiatives. Thank you for your support of this project and for helping women gain access to services and knowledge to keep their families healthy.
Sincerely,
Ashley Pugh

Patient Referral for UK Medical Mission

Selfless Volunteers Working in Rural Village
Dear HOPE Supporter,
Last month your donations to HOPE's Mothers' Clubs were particularly important. The UK Medical Group Selfless, composed of doctors, medical students and non-medical volunteers traveled to HOPE Hospital to provide care through two rural health camps and two weeks of patient care at HOPE Hospital. The group was interested to learn more about and gain experience in global health, particularly rural health. HOPE's Mothers' Clubs helped to spread awareness of the rural health camps and refer patients to the camps who were in need of care. They furthermore supported Selfless volunteers' trips into the field to gain more infromation and speak with community members regarding pressing maternal health issues. In the end, both HOPE Hospital and Selfless volunteers were able to exchange knowledge, skills, experience, and ideas on how to improve health for rural populations such as those in Cox's Bazar. Thank you for supporting this endeavor through your support of HOPE's Mothers' Clubs.
Best Regards,
Ashley Pugh
