HOSPITALS

Gyne Hospital Jhang Pakistan

Gyne Hospital Jhang is situated at Cote Sai Singh, Ghazi Cotton Link Road, Satellite Town, Jhang Sadar, District Jhang, Pakistan.

The Jhang District is amongst the poorest areas of Pakistan.  Statistics show that in Pakistan, every 20 minutes at the time of birth either the mother, the child or both mother and child die due to lack of medical facilities.  That amounts to over 26,000 unnecessary deaths a year!  We decided that we will not let that continue.Realising the dire need of this under-developed and impoverished area of Pakistan, Muslim Charity responded positively.  In October 2003, the land for the proposed Gyne Hospital Jhang was acquired.  Immediately thereafter, construction of the hospital began.  After a short span of 20 months, on 6th July 2005, the Gyne Hospital Jhang opened its doors to the much anticipating and joyous faces of the public.

Since its initiation the Gyne Hospital Jhang has become a serving centre of remarkable repute. Gyne Hospital Jhang provides free medical facilities and healthcare to those who are unable to afford it. Equipped with the latest medical equipment and machinery, Gyne Hospital Jhang’s reputation has grown rapidly as the Jhang District is amongst the poorest areas of Pakistan.

Before Gyne Hospital Jhang first opened many women used to give birth at home in their villages or, if they could afford it, in small underdeveloped clinics. As medical resources were limited and staff was unqualified, many women would lose their children at birth. All praise is due to Allah (most high) after the inauguration of Gyne Hospital Jhang the lives of the people of Jhang have dramatically changed for the better, as the following testimony of a lady in Jhang illustrates:

"We used to travel on the rickshaws, on horse-carriages, women would even ride on bicycles due to the desperate need. Previously it would take us 2-3 hours to go to Faisalabad, 1-2 hours to go to the civil hospital. A pregnant woman cannot even survive for five minutes in her condition. My sister’s child died in this way, we had to make three journeys to and from the hospital and we sometimes couldn’t find nurses and doctors, due to the going and coming from the hospital the child died before birth.Here we have a great facility now, we thank those who built the hospital and provided for us free equipment, free treatment; we have a very good doctor and a brilliant team."

Two qualified doctors and a team of dedicated nurses work round the clock to ensure that as many poor and needy patients as possible are seen to on a daily basis. The beauty of Muslim Charity’s hospitals concept is that doctors and nurses have their living quarters directly behind the hospital and so they are always on site and more than willing to see to patients as and when needed. Dr. Nazia Tariq (FCPS, Gynaecologist at the Gyne Hospital Jhang) explains:

"All the equipment that is required in order to run a successful Gyne Hospital is all present here.  We have all the necessary equipment and qualified personnel to operate them.  When we first started the hospital, on the first day 30 to 40 patients were attended to.  On the very next day there were over a hundred patients at the hospital. And we expect the numbers will increase as people become more and more aware of the hospital."

Gyne Hospital Faisalabad, Pakistan

Gyne Hospital Faisalabad is situated in Jhapal on Jhang Road, near Thikriwala, District Faisalabad, Pakistan.

After the huge success of Gyne Hospital Jhang, Muslim Charity decided to enhance this noble effort and decided to begin work on its second hospital; the Muslim Charity Gyne Hospital Faisalabad.

In less than two years since the opening of the first hospital, Gyne Hospital Faisalabad was completed and opened its doors to the poor and needy public on 15 May 2007.

On 20 May 2007, an opening ceremony was held at Gyne Hospital Faisalabad. The ceremony was attended by over four hundred locals. Speakers at the ceremony included Ms. Ghulam Bharwana (MNA for Jhang and State Minister for Youth Affairs, Pakistan) and Dr. Nisar Ahmad (MNA for Faisalabad and Chairman of the Standing Committee on Narcotics Control, Pakistan). All guests and speakers paid immense tribute to Muslim Charity and its volunteers for pursuing this life-saving mission that has undoubtedly benefited the poor and destitute.

Rahmat Khatoon Hospital, Pakistan

Following the success of the Gyne Hospital Jhang and Gyne Hospital Faisalabad, Muslim Charity turned its attention to poorer village areas of Pakistan where there is a dire need of free medical aid and healthcare.

The Rahmat Khatoon Hospital is particularly important as it is located in the Mangani Village and is therefore able to cater for the poor and needy of the surrounding 30 villages.In the period of December 2007 to July 2008, the Rahmat Khatoon Hospital has had a total of 3,868 outpatients. The vast majority of these outpatients have come from the surrounding villages and were unable to afford the fees that larger City hospitals tend to charge. With the generous support of Muslim Charity donors this hospital is providing free medical care with an excellent service to those who need it the most.Rahmat Khatoon Hospital is situated in the Village Mangani, Tehsil and District Jhang, Pakistan.

Azad Kashmir Hospital

Azad Kashmir Hospital is situated in the Village Sahoontra Arja in Tehsil Rawalakot, District Poonch, Azad Kashmir. Anyone travelling to Azad Kashmir is welcome to visit the hospital.

The Azad Kashmir Hospital opened its doors in February 2008. This hospital was established following the tragic earthquake that hit Azad Kashmir in October 2005. Approximately 86,000 people lost their lives and over 106,000 people were injured as a result of this earthquake.Muslim Charity - with the support of the Pakistan Islamic Centre in Rotterdam, Netherlands - consequently established a hospital in the village of Sahoontra Arja; an area that was particularly effected by the October 2005 earthquake. In the period of February 2008 to July 2008 a total of 935 outpatients have been catered for by this hospital and this hospital is particularly important as it is not located in a built-up city or town but in the very heart of a community of poor and destitute individuals and their families.

Ambulance

Muslim Charity has a fleet of ambulances that serve the needs of different hospitals in Pakistan. The donors of Muslim Charity generously donated towards these ambulances. The number of ambulances is currently limited and we need more ambulances to fulfil the requirements of the poor and needy.

You can donate towards an ambulance the total cost of which is £5,000.
