As the climate crisis worsens in Pakistan’s rural areas, women are paying the ultimate price.

With temperatures soaring above 50 degrees Celsius (122°F) and torrential monsoons causing widespread flooding, health services are at breaking point.

For many women, childbirth has become a matter of life or death.

Fewer than one in two women give birth in a hospital, leaving many to deliver at home in unsafe conditions where poor hygiene and lack of clean water are constant threats.

As a result, one woman dies every hour due to pregnancy complications, contributing to Pakistan having one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in South Asia.

In this desperate situation, a dedicated team of midwives and doctors is working tirelessly to make childbirth safer for these women.

101 East meets the brave women helping save the lives of Pakistani mothers and their babies.
