Karachi, April 06, 2023 (PPI-OT): Mr. Tariq Ullah Sufi, Chief Executive, Sufi Banaspati and Cooking Oil, visited Indus Hospital, Korangi Campus, Karachi, on April 5, 2023. Dr. Abdul Bari Khan, President of Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN), received him.

Mr. Sufi was also given a briefing on IHHN’s mission of providing free-of-cost quality healthcare to all patients in need for the pleasure of the Almighty (SAW). IHHN has been upholding this mission since its inception fifteen years ago and currently serves over 500,000 patients nationwide every month.

The demand for affordable healthcare has been skyrocketing daily and is expected to increase further in the current economic decline. In the past three years, IHHN has experienced a 42% increase in patient service load, resulting in over-stretched resources and long waiting times. To cater to the needs of all, IHHN is constructing a state-of-the-art New Hospital Building equipped with 1350 beds and a dedicated, competent healthcare workforce.

Impressed by the scale of the New Hospital Building, IHHN’s quality of services, and its remarkable mission of providing excellence in healthcare for all, Mr. Sufi pledged to become a Gold Member and aid in the completion of the New Hospital Building, which will be Pakistan’s largest hospital in the private sector upon completion. Indus Hospital and Health Network is incredibly grateful for the support of donors like Mr. Tariq Ullah Sufi, whose generosity and compassion will help relieve the suffering of countless underserved communities across Pakistan.

During his visit, he sat down with the students and briefed them on the incredible fifteen-year journey of Indus Hospital and Health Network in which it evolved from a single hospital in Korangi, Karachi, to a nationwide network of healthcare facilities. Through it all, IHHN has been providing 100% free quality care to patients in need, whilst being solely run on donations, sadaqah, and zakat. This would not have been possible without the relentless determination of the people of Indus, the generosity of its supporters, the duas given by patients, and the incredible grace of the Almighty (SWT).

Addressing the students, Dr. Abdul Bari Khan, urged them to use IHHN as a unique example and work towards their goals and the betterment of those less privileged with the same drive, good intentions, and faith in Allah (SWT). Under Meer-e-Karwaan, Pakistan’s largest youth-led campaign led by the Indus Yaqeen Program, students from schools, colleges, and universities across the country are given the opportunity to organize, run, and participate in various activities and events to raise funds and awareness for IHHN. Together they are rallying thousands of people to play their part and save lives.

The youth of Pakistan is a powerful task force, who, with the proper support and encouragement, can transform this country’s healthcare. Indus Hospital and Health Network is committed to empowering these young change-makers to lead Pakistan into a brighter and healthier future.
