WPF has supported health projects in Pakistan since 1997 and has a track record working in all of the country’s four provinces. WPF established the Pakistan programme office in 1999 and has maintained a strong, stable and efficient local presence since that time.

In addition, WPF is registered with the Government of Pakistan, having signed a Memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Economic Affairs that provides the legal right to conduct health-related programme activities in the country.
