The Challenge
Pakistan, a nation of over 220 million people, faces a profound healthcare crisis:
Nearly 50% of the population lacks access to primary healthcare
Approximately 42% have no health insurance
Most healthcare costs are paid out-of-pocket, pushing families into poverty
For underprivileged households, a medical emergency often becomes a financial catastrophe. Illness does not only threaten life—it threatens livelihoods, dignity, and generational stability.
Our Solution
Drawing on 46 years of institutional experience, Fatima Memorial Hospital delivers accessible, ethical, and high-quality care to those who need it most.
Zakat and welfare funds enable FMH to:
Provide free or highly subsidized treatment to indigent patients
Support critical departments including:
Nephrology
Obstetrics & Gynecology
Pediatrics
Supply essential medicines, diagnostics, and lifesaving procedures
Reduce preventable mortality and improve long-term health outcomes
This is not short-term relief—it is a structured, accountable healthcare safety net.
Impact at a Glance
10.04 million+ patients treated through Zakat since 1977
PKR 7+ billion spent on the care of indigent patients to date
PKR 670+ million disbursed for patient welfare in 2025 alone
PKR 45+ million distributed specifically from Zakat funds in 2025
One of the lowest maternal and neonatal mortality rates in comparable healthcare settings
Each number represents a life saved, a family protected, and dignity restored.
A Life Changed
Because of Zakat, My Father Found Care
When no proper treatment was available in DG Khan, Muhammad Azan carried his father’s hope to Fatima Memorial Hospital. Abdul Haye’s health was declining, and the family had exhausted every option they could afford. At FMH, doctors listened, examined him thoroughly, and acted without delay.
With Zakat support, Abdul Haye began receiving treatment for a complex and life-threatening condition—care that had felt impossible only days earlier. For the family, this support meant more than medical treatment; it meant dignity, relief, and the reassurance that they were no longer alone.
Son of Patient: Muhammad Azan
Patient: Abdul Haye
Stories like these unfold every day within FMH’s wards—quiet victories made possible by your generosity.
