Since May 2011, MSF has ran a 30-bed gynecology and obstetrics hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan.  The facility includes a neonatal unit with 15 beds for newborns with serious medical complications. The care offered by MSF is free which is much needed considering many private maternity hospitals in Peshawar are inaccessible to women in the region.

This baby only weighed 2 pounds when she was born premature, but after two months of proper care her weight was raised to a healthy 3.5 pounds and was able to leave the hospital for home with her mother.
