As part of Alkhidmat’s Orphan Care Program, the annual health screening was successfully conducted at Alkhidmat Hospital Fareeda Yaqoob for students of Aghosh Karachi and Aghosh Hala. Regular health checkups are a core component of our program, ensuring that children under our care grow up healthy, strong, and confident.
