Postnatal care reached only ~44%.

What it does not prove: The 44% is a coverage share only: it does not record when after delivery the contact occurred or what was provided, and without mortality data it cannot be presented as the cause of maternal deaths. Its argumentative force comes entirely from the contrast with the ~84-88% reached before and during birth — a drop-off in continuity, not an absence of services.

Memory hook: 44% → maternal care stops at the delivery-room door

Rebuts the claim: "High antenatal and skilled-birth coverage shows Pakistan's maternal pathway works" — fewer than half of women receive any postnatal care.
