HOPE, a vital provider of health and education to the rural, poor masses since 1997 – and a very important and prompt provider of relief during natural calamities such as floods, earthquakes, storms and even the aftermath of terrorist attacks has responded immediately to the floods since 2010, providing food and safe drinking water to the most vulnerable groups, particularly women and children. Over the past five years, we’ve reached over 700,000 people.
On this particular occasion HOPE, an educational and health related NGO in Pakistan was supported by the House of Habib {Travel Waljis} in extending a very timely help to the flood affectees of Sindh. The area selected was the flooded delta region of river Indus, a place known as Allah Baksh Brohi .
The area was surveyed in advance and by some good fortune a fully erected building became available to HOPE/House of Habib which was a great help in setting up this much needed medical camp for the displaced flood affectees – who were advised in advance of the date and place of its setting up.
A very large number of men, women and children flocked to this medical camp and as many as 800 patients were treated and free medicines distributed. Six doctors participated in this medical camp and they had their hands completely full all through the day. So also the dispensary which remained just as busy in giving out the medicines.
Some of the old and aged ones, in dire need of medical help, also managed to make it to the camp.
As always particular attention was given by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi, in the selection of the area in need of such an activity and everything was closely monitored by Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, child specialist in Karachi in the formation of the whole team inclusive of the doctors and also in ensuring that all necessary medicines needed for this medical camp to ensure that nothing short of very good medical treatment was provided to the flood affectees.
