Image
Introduction In a country like Pakistan, it is ridiculous to hope for a moment that the government can take care of all its citizens, in all fields of life. The burden of helping out those who need help in any sphere of life is shared by both government and non-government organizations. The role of charities for underprivileged people in Pakistan in providing financial and medical assistance deserves an honorable mention, if not more. In today’s discussion, we talk about the top five charities that work for the welfare of poor and needy folks in Pakistan.

Top Organizations Offering Free Treatment in Pakistan

Image
  Introduction Pakistan is one of those countries, where not everyone can afford basic healthcare facilities and treatment. It is quite a bitter truth. A country that suffers from socio-economic plight, Pakistan has failed to raise the standards of healthcare in the country so far.  The recent failures of the government in coping outbreaks like dengue and COVID-19 are living proof of that. Hence, the underprivileged section of society looks up to those who offer financial assistance in this matter. There are many independent, nonprofit organizations offering free treatment in Pakistan. In this discussion, we are looking at various organizations offering free treatment in Pakistan in 2020. If you are looking for financial assistance for medical treatment, these organizations are your best chance.

Top Organizations That Conduct Cardiac Surgeries for Free

Image
 Introduction The progress in the field of medicine is a startling one for many. The diseases that were once deemed almost untreatable are now treatable, courtesy the amazing bit of research done in the medical field. A lot of investment has been made in cardiovascular disease research, and it has paid dividends as well. We are talking about cardiac surgeries, something that is dreadful but is the last glimmer of hope for many as well.  Cardiac surgeries are the last option for many, and while they do save many lives, they are quite expensive as well. In a country like Pakistan, where healthcare facilities are already in a pitiful state, expecting free cardiac surgeries is just a big dream for many. However, there are some top-notch foundations and organizations in the country that conduct cardiac surgeries for free. It is these angel foundations that we talk about in today’s discussion. 1- Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation (PCHF) We do not undermine the sufferings of adults when we

Image
 Introduction  The healthcare world has benefitted tremendously from the stunning progress in the world of technology. Among many of the mind-blowing solutions that have revolutionized the word diagnosis completely, MRI in Pakistan probably tops the charts. The imaging technique is super helpful in sketching a detailed image of the organs and tissues of the human body.  How does it work? Who needs an MRI? What is the cost range? We answer these and many other questions, with a special reference to the situation in Pakistan, a country that is in dire need of a total turnaround in the healthcare sector. When is MRI needed?  The first nut to crack in this discussion is the abbreviation. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. As the name indicates, this technique focuses on generating a detailed image of the internal state of the body by using a combination of a magnetic field and computer-generated radio waves. Why MRIs are suggested is the next question that needs to be answered.  We

Role of medical camps in making diagnostic testing accessible

Image
 Introduction Among the many wonders of the 21st century, the remarkable revolution in diagnostic testing stands out in the healthcare sector. Most sensitive reagent kits, machines that can process hundreds of samples at a time, and highly skilled technicians at work have completely changed the dynamics of laboratory testing. Things are certainly not how they used to be in the past! Unfortunately, the shine and sheen of a laboratory are affordable for only a few in our society.  The social class difference doesn’t allow many of our fellow society members to enjoy access to world-class but expensive diagnostic testing facilities. The gap between underprivileged patients and diagnostic testing is somewhat abridged by free medical camps which provide point-of-care testing services. It is their role that forms the subject matter of this discussion as well. Point of care testing: An overview First things first, let us recap the concept of point of care testing. Well, any medical diagnostic

The Past, Present, and Future of Polio in Pakistan

 Introduction The Past, Present, and Future of Polio in Pakistan is actually a way to depict the grim reality of the fact that polio has some serious controversy in this region. In 1988, the World Health Assembly concluded its meeting with a unanimous decision: Eradicate poliomyelitis by the year 2000. The decision was not one out of blue. Voices for a global campaign to counter this epidemic were getting stronger with every new victim. Thousands of people who became a victim of polio shook the entire global population. Under this mounting pressure, in 1988, GPEI: Global Polio Eradication Initiative was launched. The results produced by this largest public health initiative speak for its success. From deadly prevalence in five continents to being confined to three countries, that is the remarkable story of GPEI. One of those three countries in which Polio still prevails in Pakistan. Factors influencing the prevalence of Polio in Pakistan Polio in Pakistan makes quite a heartbreaking st
