MdM has been working in Pakistan since 1995 through various projects: Mother and Child Health programs (1996-2004), Primary Heath Care for IDPs due to Earthquake (in 2005-2006), Smile operation (surgery), Gender Based Violence in Punjab (2004-2015), IDPs of military conflict (2009 - current) and IDPs of floods (2010).

In June 2009, MdM first started primary health care activities in 8 health units through 3 mobile teams in Swabi and Buner. As the conflict spread across FATA (esp.
