Providing world class health care facility is an obligation on HOPE- An NGO in Pakistan. Health care is a basic and essential human need in every part of the world. Regardless of the fact that a person in ill or not, regular checkups are good personal habits. In Pakistan there has been a rampant growth in the health care sector.
Most private organizations do not
find it financially viable to set up health care services in rural villages due
to several reasons. Greater distances, lack of proper road networks and low
population densities discourage the private sector in investing in rural healthcare.
Villages in the outskirts of
Karachi and interior Sindh are the prime example of such rural areas. These
villages face serious health challenges with infectious diseases such as
gastrointestinal disorder, pulmonary tuberculosis, malaria and diarrhea being
very common. Moreover, malnutrition of children is another alarming problem
