ISLAMABAD
\nOn Mother\u2019s Day 2026, Pakistan\u2019s largest integrated telecommunications company, PTCL and Ufone announced the launch of #MoreSupportForMothers: a nationwide initiative that pairs awareness with action, a first-of-its-kind mental health initiative in the telecom industry.
\nIn partnership with Oladoc, Pakistan\u2019s leading digital health platform, PTCL and Ufone are making free consultations with certified psychiatrists available to mothers across Pakistan accessible today through the UPTCL app, at no cost and with no barriers.
\nCL and Ufone\u2019s partnership with Oladoc brings together Pakistan\u2019s largest telecom infrastructure and its most trusted digital health platform to deliver something the country\u2019s maternal mental health landscape has never had scale.
\nOladoc connects patients with thousands of verified healthcare professionals across specialities. Through this partnership, its network of certified psychiatrists is now accessible, for free, to every mother in Pakistan who downloads the UPTCL app. The service is available on iOS and Android, requires no prior diagnosis or referral, and is designed to function in communities far beyond Pakistan\u2019s urban centres.
\nThis is not a pilot programme for a handful of users in Karachi or Lahore. PTCL and Ufone\u2019s reach extends across every province, every district, and every corner of Pakistan. And so, through this initiative, the support.
\nPTCL and Ufone have been part of Pakistani families for decades. Their networks carry calls that have crossed distances, the messages that kept people close, and the connections that made the country feel smaller. That history comes with a responsibility, and this initiative is an expression of it.
\nMental health in Pakistan has long been underfunded, understaffed, and overlaid with stigma. The mothers who bear the highest burden of that neglect are often the least visible, new mothers in the exhausting, disorienting weeks after birth, in homes that celebrate the baby and forget to ask how she is doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
