Zakat Appeal - Your Support Can Save Lives

A Legacy Forged in Compassion. In 1917, Maulvi Ferozuddin’s personal tragedy—losing his wife, Kaneez Fatima, to inadequate healthcare—ignited a revolution. Decades later, his son Dr. Abdul Waheed and daughter-in-law Begum Saida Waheed (a freedom fighter) transformed grief into action. Built on the grounds of a historic prison, Fatima Memorial Hospital (FMH) has become a sanctuary for women, children, and underserved communities, offering free or subsidized care to millions. Today, the NUR Fatima Memorial System spans healthcare, education, disaster relief, and research, embodying a century of unyielding faith in humanity.By the Numbers: Impact Since 1977

A Case for Compassion

Pakistan faces significant healthcare challenges, with a large portion of the population lacking access to essential medical services. FMH is working tirelessly to address this gap. Your donations help us provide essential care, such as:

Nephrology Services

Studies have reported a prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) ranging from 12.5% to 29.9% in Pakistan. This indicates a significant burden of kidney disease in the population.

• • The prevalence of CKD is strongly associated with advanced age, diabetes, and hypertension. These conditions are prevalent in Pakistan, contributing to the high rates of kidney disease.

  • The cost of dialysis per patient in Pakistan can be approximately $3000 per year. This is a substantial expense for many families, especially considering the average annual per capita income.
  • The cost of dialysis can vary depending on the facility and the type of dialysis. Some facilities may offer subsidized or free dialysis services, but these may be limited.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Services

Prevalence of OB/GYN Issues:

• Maternal Mortality: Despite improvements, Pakistan still faces significant challenges in reducing maternal mortality rates. Factors such as limited access to quality healthcare, lack of skilled healthcare providers, and cultural practices contribute to this issue.
• Infant and Child Mortality: High rates of infant and child mortality are prevalent in Pakistan. OB/GYN care plays a crucial role in addressing these issues by providing prenatal, postnatal, and child healthcare services.

Cost of OB/GYN Care:

• Prenatal Care: The cost of prenatal care, including regular check-ups, ultrasounds, and laboratory tests, can be a financial burden for many women.
• Childbirth: The cost of childbirth, including hospital fees, doctor's fees, and medications, can be substantial.
• Postnatal Care: Postnatal care, including newborn check-ups and maternal health services, also incurs costs.

Pediatric Services

Common Pediatric Diseases in Pakistan

• Malnutrition: Malnutrition remains a significant public health issue, affecting children's growth and development.
• Diarrhea: Diarrhea is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among children, especially in rural areas with limited access to clean water and sanitation.
• Respiratory Infections: Acute respiratory infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, are leading causes of child mortality.
• Neonatal Diseases: Neonatal conditions, including low birth weight, premature birth, and birth defects, pose significant health challenges.

Cost of Pediatric Care

• Hospitalization: Hospitalization for pediatric illnesses can be expensive, especially for families with limited financial resources.
• Medications: The cost of medications for pediatric diseases can vary depending on the specific condition and the availability of generic alternatives.
• Consultations: Consultations with specialists, such as pediatricians, can also add to the overall cost of pediatric care.
