We've just made our new website live and hope you like it. With clearer presentation and better connectivity with social media it really is the best place to find out all the latest news and images from the Alma Bi Hospital in Pakistan.
David Todman, one of the charity's trustees, recently spent a week at the Alma Bi Hospital documenting some of its activities on film. The trip was in research for an ambitious documentary project about rural life in Pakistan that David hopes to raise finance for later in the year. You can see a gallery of some of the still photographs he took during the visit at the link below:
The hospital's annual eye camp has just finished and was the most successful ever! Here are just some of the figures:
In just 4 days surgeons restored sight to 205 cataract sufferers
700 people suffering eye complaints were treated
10,000 people visited the hospital, many suffering from general health problems that were treated.
These staggering statistics demonstrate just how important the hospital's work really is, being the only source of free healthcare for many thousands of citizens in surrounding areas.
In May 2013 Daniel Harris will be running another marathon for the AHT. Daniel has been a tremendous supporter of the charity over many years and so we'd really like everyone to get behind him and sponsor his amazing efforts.
