Alkhidmat Karachi concludes its annual health screening for orphans, providing essential medical care and support to vulnerable children.
In a commendable initiative aimed at improving the health of vulnerable children, Alkhidmat Karachi has successfully wrapped up the second phase of its annual health screening for orphans. This program specifically targets orphan children who are registered under Alkhidmat's Orphan Care Program, which is dedicated to providing support and care for those in need.
During this recent health screening, approximately 700 children were thoroughly examined for common illnesses at various Alkhidmat healthcare facilities. These included hospitals located in Orangi and Korangi, as well as the Alkhidmat Medical Center in Malir. The health check-ups focused on essential areas such as ENT (ear, nose, and throat), dental, and eye conditions. Not only did the children receive free medical consultations, but they were also provided with prescriptions for any necessary treatments. Furthermore, doctors took the time to offer valuable health advice to both the children and their guardians, emphasizing the importance of maintaining overall well-being.
Notable figures from the community, including the Executive Director of Alkhidmat Karachi, Rashid Qureishi, and other prominent officials, visited the Alkhidmat Medical Center in Malir to observe the screening process firsthand. Their presence underscored the significance of this initiative. Meanwhile, Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami District West, Mudassar Hussain Ansari, along with the Director of the Orphan Care Program, Yousuf Muhyiudeen, visited the Alkhidmat Hospital in Orangi to meet with the children and their guardians, further demonstrating the community's commitment to this cause.
During the event, Executive Director Rashid Qureishi shared that Alkhidmat currently has 2,200 orphan children registered under its program, with 1,000 of them having already undergone screenings. The organization plans to screen the remaining children in the upcoming weeks, ensuring that every child receives the necessary medical attention.
Town Chairman Landhi, Abdul Jameel Khan, praised Alkhidmat's unwavering commitment to the welfare of orphan children. He urged the public to extend their support to such humanitarian efforts, highlighting the collective responsibility of society to care for its most vulnerable members. Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami District West, Mudassar Hussain Ansari, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing that access to healthcare is a fundamental human right for these children.
Yousuf Muhyiudeen, the Director of the Orphan Care Program, reiterated Alkhidmat's dedication to treating the children as if they were their own. He emphasized that these children represent the future of the nation and assured that any child diagnosed with an illness during the screenings would receive free treatment at Alkhidmat's hospitals.
This initiative not only highlights the importance of healthcare access for orphaned children but also serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility we share in ensuring their well-being. By supporting programs like Alkhidmat's, we can contribute to a brighter future for these children, who are not just the leaders of tomorrow but also deserving of love, care, and health today.
