Gould Family Foundation USA has donated medical equipments to upgrade antenatal care and maternity services offered at Hope Charity Medicare Health Centre so as to help reduce neonatal and maternal mortality rates and improve the quality of healthcare in Amolatar District. For long Hope Charity Medicare health centre in Amolatar district has been struggling to provide free ANC and maternity services due to shortages of medical equipments and medical supplies. As a result most of the pregnant mothers were being referred for delivery services that would be managed at the health facility if the equipments and supplies were available. While other mothers who could not afford the high-cost of care associated with referral could resort to risky home deliveries being conducted by traditional birth attendants with limited knowledge and no safety precautions.
