It was in the year 2000 that the Japanese Consulate in Karachi very generously offered to assist in the erection HOPE’s Zia Colony Hospital– the ground and first floor of what is now a three storey structure of housing a very busy maternity hospital . This hospital has now developed a very popular reputation and patients from near and far throng this vital health facility for much needed mother and child medical help.
HOPE, a health and educational NGO in Pakistan, worked at a very fast pace and completed the project in 2002 – and was inaugurated in 2002 by the then mayor of Karachi city.
Mr Mitsuaki Tosa, Consul for Cultural & public Affairs visited HOPE’s Zia Colony Hospital to observe its status and progress since 2002. The delegates were amazed to see how the hospital has progressed since then. A new floor had been added and many new departments and latest equipments were added – making the Hospital a very modern one in a very underprivileged/slum area of Karachi
Mr Tosa was taken to all departments of the hospital including ICU, Neonatal ICU, X-Ray Room, Physiotherapy Room, different wards, laboratory etc. He was extremely happy to see how HOPE’s Zia Colony Hospital had progressed so well over the years.
Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi, has been the driving force in setting up this and other hospitals at Gurumandir, Karachi and Thatta in rural Sindh – and in ensuring they are successfully and efficiently run – which is why these hospitals have been so effectively popular in the areas where they have been established.
Dr Mubina Agboatwalla, Chairperson of HOPE and child specialist in Karachi has always maintained that the health assistance provided to the needy should be of excellent quality.
