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.

Stories like these unfold every day within FMH’s wards—quiet victories made possible by your generosity.


Long-Term Impact

Every contribution to Fatima Memorial Hospital creates impact that extends far beyond a single patient:

  • Lives are saved at the most critical moments

  • Families are protected from devastating medical debt

  • Communities grow healthier, stronger, and more resilient

When you give your Zakat here, the reward is not temporary. Its impact lasts a lifetime.


Why Your Support Matters Now

  • Healthcare inflation continues to rise

  • The burden on welfare hospitals is increasing

  • Demand for subsidized care grows every year

We are $93,831 away from our $100,000 goal. Every donation—no matter the size—directly funds lifesaving care for patients who would otherwise be left behind.
