STUDENTS OF AKUH VISIT HOPE HOSPITAL

A large population residing in rural areas, do not have access to proper care and treatments in the hour of their need. Elderly people, pregnant women, neonatals, persons with chronic illness residing in a distant location from a hospital are always at high risk. Community health system has a large demand throughout Pakistan.

Looking at such needs of the communities. HOPE – A Health NGO in Pakistan, has established several Hospitals, Mobile Health Clinics and MCH Centres (Mother and Child Health Care Centres) throughout Pakistan.

The dedication and ambition of HOPE has attracted some attention of individuals as well as organizations. One of which is Aga Khan University Hospital. The struggle of HOPE sparked a dash of motivation among the students of AKUH.  The Students visited HOPE General Hospital & Community Centre on, Thursday 20^th February 2025.  HOPE gave the students a brief over their projects and activities they are involved in and how the deprived communities have benefited though this.

Furthermore, being a medical student, they pondered over the importance of basic health care, which is lacking in such rural areas and how HOPE – An NGO in Pakistan makes days and nights one to serve these communities.   This is one of the reasons why these students chose to visit HOPE Hospital and its Community Centre. 

Dr. Mubina Agboatwalla – A Child Specialist in Karachi, highly encourages individuals as well as organizations to support them in this cause. The overwhelming deeds along with the tireless efforts of HOPE, have always been worth admiring. The acknowledgement and appreciation of our work boosts up our team’s motivation level committing them to put in even greater effort in doing so.
