Life for at-risk unborn babies in Pakistan

Dear Medicare Family,

Medicare Health Foundation has now formed an alliance with a digital content creation agency called Axis Communications, and together we are on  the mission of telling our story and bringing more beneficiaries to our hospitals. Since this partnership has started, we have made our social media more robust, addressed online queries timely and brought in patients through online promotion. This is a great accomplishment for us, as using technology to benefit people who would otherwise be unaware of our services, has the potential to go a long way in increasing the impact of our interventions.

Additionally, we have ramped up our services, to make them even better than before. Our hospital in Badami Bagh has been inaugurated after major renovation, and our pediatric nursery has become fully functional. 

All our efforts are to provide medical care to the deprived, and improve health in communities which are struggling even more financially due to the highly unstable economic condition of the country.

We greatly hope to have you on board as we exert our utmost effort to reach out to the needy

Regards,

Team Medicare Health Foundation

 

Activities Summary:

Renovation of Medicare Hospital - Badami Bagh

Medicare Hospital - Badami Bagh had its inauguration after renovation on 15th January this year. The event was attended by our major donors, volunteers and board members, who were all greatly impressed by the new look of the facility. We have made changes and additions in order to cater to our patients in a more effective manner and also to retain the hygiene standards of the facility.

In August this year, an assessment was carried out of the facility of Medicare Hospital - Badami Bagh, through which it was determined that it greatly needed renovation. The hospital has started becoming extremely crowded, and the air circulation system had begun being ineffective. Additionally, there was a dire need to expand the waiting areas, and also to reassign location for clinics and wards. Thus, funds were allocated and work commenced for this greatly needed project. Now that the hospital is fully functional after renovation, we are evaluating the addition of new services too, so our patients may benefit.

A Healthy Start to Life, with a Healthy Mother

We were overjoyed when Asiya, our patient who had faced misfortune upon misfortune, was blessed with a baby boy.

Previously, she met with great tragedy when her first born contracted pneumonia and passed away. Grief-stricken, she was yet again put through a test when her second pregnancy resulted in still birth.

This time, Dr. Asima at Medicare Hospital took great care of Asiya during her pregnancy, and she has been blessed with a healthy baby boy. 

Partnership with Digital Content Creation Agency, Axis Communications

Medicare Health Foundation has now partnered with Axis Communications, which is designing all its social media content and bringing about awareness of the work we do. Since this partnership began, we have been able to increase awareness about our organization manifold, and bring in new patients. We hope to make it a high impact partnership, in which together we can benefit the community.

Dear Medicare Family,

This quarter, Medicare Health Foundation has been focusing on creating awareness about our services among a larger audience. We conducted seminars and medical camps, networked with specialist doctors to bring in their patients, and carried out service campaigns on social media. 

Additionally, our quest to improve patient experience at our hospitals keeps us motivated to carry out regular maintenance of our facilities and add new specialties. Thus, we have started renovating our hospital in Badami Bagh Lahore, so our patients an enjoy a hygienic environment, free of infections. We have also inducted new doctors at Medicare Hospital Noor Elahi Branch in specialties such as Pediatrics, Gastroenterology and Physio Therapy.

We hope to remain engaged positively in community development and good quality healthcare for the underserved

A Healthy Start to Life, with a Healthy Mother

We were all smiles when recently a patient gave birth for the first time, after being married for 11 years. With initial issues with conception and many years of visiting infertility clinics, she had finally conceived. Thereafter, her pregnancy was declared as a high risk one, and she had been going to a private hospital for her medical management. However, at the time of her delivery, her doctor was unavailable, which made her family very nervous. Upon recommendation, she was brought to Medicare Hospital Noor Elahi Branch, where she underwent C-Section surgery and gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The mother and her family were overjoyed to welcome a baby in their lives after years of waiting.

Orthopedic Success

We are delighted to share that Medicare Hospital Noor Elahi Branch has started extremely advanced Arthroscopic ACL Repair with key hole surgeries. A surgery was carried out through this method of a patient's knee, and was successfully concluded.

Among other orthopedic surgeries, a female patient, who had had tremendous arm injury during a severe bus accident, was brought to our hospital. She underwent surgery in which all her flexor tendons, including her radial artery and median nerve, were transacted. This surgery was very successful in restoring the arm function of the patient.
