THE MOBILE HEALTH UNIT (MHU) OF HOPE

 

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

HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan along with the collaboration of Asia Petroleum Limited are providing Mobile health Units to the out skirts of Karachi where no one reaches. This facility provides primary healthcare facility to patients residing in those areas and the neighbouring villages.






The Mobile Health Unit clinics are easily accessible. With the right vehicle design and paramedic team behind the wheel, it is compact and can get to any place anytime.  A Mobile Health Unit can cut down the time when it comes to treating an emergency patient or even covering the medical needs of people in a large area.  This is a big relief for patients, who do not have transportation or access to medical facilities within their locality.

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla - A Child Specialist in Karachi, has been collaborating with national and international organizations. The funds donated from these organizations has helped immensely in establishing hospitals, schools, MHU, MCH Centers vocational centers and many other projects. Ultimately it is clear that HOPE is playing a vital role in developing the society by creating accessibility and ease for the underprivileged population.
