MEDICAL CAMP ARRANGED BY HOPE & ITS SPONSORS

Pakistan is attributed to the lack of access to basic health care services, poverty, lack of health infrastructure and personnel, illiteracy, women’s low status, inadequate water supplies and sanitation. In the urban areas, access to health care clinics and facilities is not a problem, though the general state and quality of public services is very poor. On the other hand, in the rural areas, people live far from hospitals and basic health care units.

Similar picture is being depicted when considering the areas located at the outskirts of Karachi. People in these remote areas lack basic facilities. They are more prone towards getting skin diseases and diseases like diarrhea, mostly because of unhygienic environment and lack of awareness which make them susceptible towards infections and required particular attention of medics and paramedics.

Keeping these indicators in mind HOPE- an Health NGO in Pakistan has initiated a step forward in collaboration with it partners to provide free health check-ups so that health status of these underprivileged masses can be improve and timely treated.

Creating yet another example, HOPE- an NGO in Pakistan this time with the help and support of Orient Overseas Container Line Company organized a medical camp in Razzakabad- Karachi, located in the southeastern part of the city. Where people were offered free health check-ups along with free medications.

 

Hundreds of adults and children flocked for this camp and a large number of patients were treated against skin disease, pneumonia, chest infection, diarrhea, eye and ear infections. Health team comprising of doctors and paramedics took initiative to provide medical care to the needy. HOPE- an Health NGO in Pakistan also formed a dispensary which remained busy throughout the duration of camp in distributing free medicines.

Along with treating such diseases HOPE-an NGO in Pakistan believes in preventing disease from occurrence. Therefore in collaboration with Procter and Gamble Company, HOPE under the leadership of Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla- Child Specialist in Karachi distributed P&G Purifier of Water sachet among the community along with buckets and equipment necessary for the purification process of water. The community was also taught about how to use these sachets to purify contaminated water.

The community appreciated the efforts of HOPE and its sponsor for their effortless hard work to improve the health status of community. These poor masses needs attention from those who are well-established in the society, which can contribute to improve their lifestyle. Hence, HOPE- an Health NGO in Pakistan will keep benefiting the low to lower-middle strata of our society.

HOPE’s Youth Wing from USA visited Karachi to Review Hand Pumps Installed with Their Support

Water is one of the prime elements responsible for life on earth. Yet it is out of reach of majority of the people around the globe. It affects every continent and more than 1.2 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. While considering the province of Sindh in Pakistan, besides being one of the disadvantage communities when it comes to literacy and morbidity rate in addition, it happens to be one of the places where water is chronically short besides being dirty and contaminated. Women of these remote areas travel 5-6 km far from their village to fetch water. However, water well are set-up which are 250 ft deep from which both animals and humans drink water.

Therefore, HOPE- an NGO in Pakistan has been helping the needy to obtain clean drinking water by installing hand pumps. In this regard HOPE’s youth wing in the US focused their efforts amongst other youth groups and students providing them full awareness of the non-availability of drinking water in rural Sindh. This resulted in the formation of a support group eager to provide financial support for installation of hand pumps in selected areas in dire need of water.

HOPE- an health NGO in Pakistan, was entrust in selecting the populated areas in extreme need on drinking water. The places for setting up the hand pumps were selected and up till now 19 hand pumps were successfully installed benefiting 100 to 250 household in each village.

Like previous year, member of HOPE’s Youth Wing based in the US visited Pakistan to view and inspect these hand pumps. They appreciated the quality of pumps and were satisfied that their effort has created such a positive result and benefited the community as a whole.

HOPE’s US youth wing’s representative Mr. Zain was accompanied by his family. All of them were extremely overjoyed to see how their support had benefited all the communities– especially with the fact that installation of these pumps saved these communities from migrating to areas with better accessibility to water.

The beneficiaries presented traditional Sindhi Ajrak to the visitors in order to thank them for their efforts and as a return gift sweets were distributed among them. As always particular attention was given by Dr MubinaAgboatwalla- child specialist in Karachi.
