Our Story
Pakistan is a under-developed country where the public health sector is neglected and it lacks the potential and capacity to meet the requirement of public health services. There are scarce funds proportionate to a large populace. The private sector is a bounty, while the poor people cannot afford the fees and charges of the private hospitals …….. a dilemma; however, its’ a good concept by the donors indeed to come forward for opening up the free medical dispensary(s)/hospitals for the poor people to plug in the gap and deficiency of public health sector by providing them the free health services at their doorsteps. It’s a miracle!
In this perspective, imbued with the spirits to serve the humanity, in December 2004, Malik Nadeem Ahmad, a local philanthropist opened A FREE MEDICAL DISPENSARY under the emblem of HWA at Tajpura, Lahore, Pakistan.
