Project Report | Nov 12, 2018
A Star is Born

By Mehwish Iqbal | Project Leader

Hussain, a rickshaw driver, works day and night to make both ends meet. He received a call from home that his wife was in pain and has to be rushed to the hospital. Worried and helpless, Hussain took his wife to the hospital in a rickshaw.

 

Upon reaching the hospital, the doctors asked for her to be shifted to another hospital due to her precarious situation. It was at that moment when his wife’s sister decided that they should call an Aman Ambulance instead of waiting further. The Aman ambulance arrived within a few minutes.

 

Hussain’s wife was crying in pain. The paramedics were able to stabilize his wife’s condition within the ambulance because it was so well equipped. From that moment on, Hussain saw a ray of hope. Relieved, he put his trust in the paramedics, who successfully delivered the baby in the ambulance. “It was like I was in an expensive hospital.

 

"The paramedics cleaned the baby and handed her to me; the feeling was otherworldly”. Hussain remarked that he got better treatment in the Aman Ambulance than he would have received in a hospital. “That is what saved my wife’s life. What more could anyone ask for?”

 

So far, over 150 babies have been safely delivered in the Aman Ambulance within Karachi.

 

The Aman Ambulance is the only life-saving ambulance in the city, equipped with necessary medical facilities and highly trained pre-hospital care staff and a doctor as well. Aman Ambulances have completed over 1 million interventions to-date, and with your donations, we will continue to save more every day.

 

It is due to donors as yourself, that we have been able to transform the state of emergency medical care services in Pakistan.
