Accessible information and stronger care for women across Pakistan.
In many rural communities, distance, cost and social barriers make healthcare information difficult to access. Omer Aftab developed the plain-language Urdu women’s health guide Jahan Auratoun Kee Doctor Naheen for women, girls and health workers, with particular attention to reproductive health.
His advocacy has addressed reproductive healthcare facilities, maternal, newborn and child health, breastfeeding and nutrition. The work combines practical public information with efforts to improve the systems delivering care.
He also designed menstrual hygiene awareness work in collaboration with UNICEF Pakistan, including dialogue with religious scholars to help address the subject respectfully and effectively.
