Indus Hospital: Making Quality Healthcare Accessible to All
Nov 13, 2024
Friends of Indus Hospital USA (FOIH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the Indus Health Network (IHN) in Pakistan. With a commitment to accessible healthcare, FOIH raises awareness and funds, helping provide free, quality healthcare to those who cannot afford it. FOIH also connects Pakistani-American and global supporters with impactful health initiatives in Pakistan. Through generous donations, they strive to ensure that no individual is deprived of healthcare due to financial constraints.
FOIH envisions a Pakistan where every individual, regardless of socioeconomic status, has access to essential healthcare. In collaboration with IHN, FOIH supports a nationwide network of healthcare services to underserved populations. Together, they combat the healthcare crisis in Pakistan, where less than 30% of health sector funds support primary care, and over 42% of Pakistanis lack access to basic medical services.
Guided by values of Trust, Compassion, Vision, Inclusion, and Duty, FOIH serves Pakistan’s vulnerable communities. These principles ensure that FOIH and IHN’s efforts remain transparent, empathetic, and inclusive, setting a high standard for nonprofit healthcare globally.
FOIH supports IHN’s primary healthcare facilities across Pakistan, providing free, quality medical care to over 6 million people annually. With 36 primary care clinics nationwide, IHN delivers excellence across community engagement, public health, family medicine, and acute care. Every month, over 50,000 patients receive treatment through this network at no cost to them or their families.
Beyond primary care, FOIH funds specialized healthcare programs, including:
Childhood Cancer Treatment: Over 14,000 children have received cancer treatment to date.
Neonatal and Safe Childbirth Services: FOIH supports critical neonatal care and safe childbirth practices, providing new lives with essential care from the start.
Prosthetic Limb Services: Those in need of prosthetics benefit from specialized limb services, helping them regain mobility and independence.
To keep up with demand and ensure high-quality care, FOIH also raises funds for expanding hospitals and procuring advanced medical equipment. The Indus Hospital network now operates 10 hospitals across Pakistan with over 1,600 beds. FOIH’s support is vital for maintaining a high standard of care for every patient treated.
Indus Hospital serves a crucial role in providing free, comprehensive healthcare. FOIH’s support has enabled IHN to serve millions annually, transforming lives through compassionate care. With services ranging from oncology to prosthetics, FOIH’s impact on healthcare accessibility in Pakistan is immeasurable.
Hasnain’s Journey of Courage and Hope: At only 14, Hasnain faced a severe cancer diagnosis. However, he persevered through intensive chemotherapy with the help of his family, friends, and the compassionate staff at Indus Hospital. Now a cancer survivor, Hasnain offers one-on-one counseling to other young patients, inspiring them to find inner strength amid hardship.
Diya’s Journey to Recovery: Diagnosed with blood cancer at 15, Diya endured isolation and physical pain. Her family’s financial struggles nearly prevented her from receiving treatment, but Indus Hospital provided her with quality, free healthcare. At Indus, Diya found community and courage in the support of the caring nurses who, as she describes, made her journey bearable with their warmth and friendship.
These stories exemplify FOIH’s dedication to offering not only medical treatment but also emotional support to patients facing the most challenging moments of their lives.
For donors seeking to fulfill their religious obligations, FOIH facilitates Zakat and Sadaqah contributions. These donations directly fund life-saving treatments for those in need, helping to support cancer treatment, surgeries, and other essential healthcare services.
Through religious giving, FOIH’s donors have a profound impact on healthcare programs that save lives. Their support helps treat vulnerable patients and provides them with vital services they otherwise could not afford.
To assist donors, FOIH provides a Zakat calculator on its website, making it easy for contributors to calculate and fulfill their obligations with precision and ease.
With just a small donation through the Feeling Blessed platform, you can support FOIH’s mission to deliver healthcare to Pakistan’s underserved communities. Every contribution goes directly toward funding critical services that transform lives.
Monthly donations are essential to sustaining vital programs like cancer treatment, prosthetic limb services, and neonatal care. FOIH encourages readers to consider ongoing support to ensure uninterrupted care for Pakistan’s most vulnerable patients. You can even mark you daily or weekly (for Jummah) recurring donations.
Beyond donations, you can support FOIH by volunteering, fundraising, or spreading awareness about their mission. Every effort helps raise the resources and attention needed to make healthcare accessible to all.
Friends of Indus Hospital USA isn’t just about providing healthcare—it’s about restoring dignity and building trust in a system where many have felt left behind.
