Challenges
Pakpattan faces a myriad of health challenges that need immediate attention. Respiratory infections such as pneumonia and bronchitis are prevalent due to poor air quality and overcrowded living conditions. Moreover, the area struggles with an increased incidence of waterborne diseases like diarrhea and typhoid due to inadequate access to clean water and substandard sanitation facilities. Malnutrition is a significant concern, especially among children and pregnant women, leading to growth and developmental issues. Additionally, non-communicable diseases like diabetes and heart conditions are on the rise due to limited healthcare resources and low awareness about maintaining good health. Addressing these challenges requires improving air quality, enhancing water and sanitation infrastructure, addressing malnutrition through awareness programs, and increasing access to healthcare services and health education.

Our skilled doctors will provide free medical consultations, essential medicines, and a range of diagnostic tests. Patients will be registered and referred for specialized medical treatments or surgeries to hospitals within our panel network. We kindly invite your generous donations to create a significant impact, bringing hope and relief to the people of Pakpattan.
