UK HOPE Member Visits HOPE’s Hospital Zia Colony, Pakistan

The Pakistan health profile is characterized by the dual burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases. The figures are high mainly because of the existing health facilities in remote areas of the country are few or inaccessible.

To contribute towards improving the health parameters, HOPE an NGO in Pakistan currently provides the underprivileged, especially women access to health care services through its hospitals under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- Child specialist in Karachi and Chairperson of HOPE. Her tireless efforts and struggle aim to provide quality of health care and improve the standard of living, especially for women and children living in urban and rural slums.

This hospital has been made entirely on charitable hearts donating medicines and medical equipments. While the remaining expenses of the hospital are handled by Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla in order to ensure that the hospital does not lose its animation.
