Oghale Oddo, USAID's Acting Deputy Mission Director for Sindh and Balochistan, said, Our support for the government's Typhoid outbreak control activities exemplifies the strength of our ongoing partnership. USAID will continue to support the Government of Sindh in their efforts to institutionalize evidence-based care.

Since the inception of this program, USAID has partnered with the Government of Pakistan to save lives, strengthen families and communities, and develop a healthier workforce. Over the last five years alone, USAID has provided over 9.4 million women and children with life-saving maternal, child, and reproductive health care services; trained more than 50,000 people on evidence-based health care interventions for women and children; and supported the governments of Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to meet women's family planning needs.

自从该项目启动以来，国际开发署就与巴基斯坦政府合作以挽救生命、使各个家庭和社群更加强大、发展更健康的生力军。仅去年五年间，国际开发署就为940多万女性和孩子提供了拯救生命的母婴健康服务以及生育卫生保健服务；向5万多人培训了对女性和孩子以证据为基础的卫生保健干预；支持了信德、旁遮普、俾路支斯坦、开伯尔-普什图，让这些地方能够满足女性的计划生育需要。
