The Heal Foundation Pakistan provided medical care to 175 patients yesterday at a local Catholic church. Five people were diagnosed with TB and will be followed until they are completely treated. For the local parish priest, Fr Tahir Rauf, it is “serving the people like the apostles”. Looking to the future, he promises, to “conduct a second phase soon.”
The Heal Foundation organised a meeting attended by about 150 people. For Fr Abid Tanveer, vicar general of the Diocese of Faisalabad, “we have to sensitise people to change their behaviour towards disabled persons” through inspiration in Jesus.
