Shokat & Sadia Complete Five Peaks Challenge

Shokat and Sadia Khan from Devereux Drive, Watford, took part in the Lake District 5 peaks challenge in aid of Alma Hospital on the 18th of April 2015. They managed to raise close to £20,000 for the charity which has been providing free medical care to some of the poorest people in Pakistan since 2007. The funds they raised directly supported our annual eye camp organised at the hospital in Hafizabad, Pakistan, and the day-to-day running cost of the hospital. Well Done Shokat and Sadia for an amazing effort!

Shokat said: "the challenge was difficult, we trekked for 12 hours which included conquering the highest mountain in England, Scarfell Pike. It was definitely worth it, we received great support from our donors and the cause itself kept our spirit up throughout the day."

Annual Eye Camp 2015

This years annual eye camp has taken place again this spring. Mohammed Younis went to Pakistan to organise the Alma Bi Hospital annual free eye camp and it was a great success again with more patients treated than ever before.

This year over 12,000 people attended the eye camp and 857 people were treated for general eye related problems. The surgeons also operated on 328 patients to carry out cataract operations all of which were were successful.

We would like to thank all those wonderful people who made donations and helped us to provide the precious gift of sight to those in desperate need. 

Flood Relief Camps Treat 3,000 Patients

Every day is a new challenge for the staff at the Alma Bi Hospital. Earlier in September, our hospital ambulance was out in the flooded areas and carried out not one, but 5 medical camps treating people with water-borne diseases. In only 5 days, the small medical team comprised of 4 people managed to treat a staggering 3,000 patients, amongst the most common being skin-related conditions affecting children. 

As well as providing free medical care right in the midst of the floods, the Alma Hospital team brought biscuits and cooked food to people who were stranded. Many had sought refuge on raised roads and had not eaten for days. 

This activity was in no way sponsored, but paid for entirely with the hospital's own funds, which are now running low. So help us help them and Make a Donation Now, knowing that every single penny goes directly to the upkeep of a truly wonderful facility. Your generosity changes people's lives.
