Compassion that heals
Absence of any specialised kidney centre in government-run hospitals means one charity has to pick up the slack
ABOTTABAD:
In Pakistan, the lack of specialised healthcare facilities not only complicate minor diseases, which could have otherwise been easily cured and controlled if they had been diagnosed at an early stage, but also consume a large chunk of ones own income in terms of medical treatments. This consumption not only reduces options for people to utilise their earnings to improve lifestyle but impacts the national economy at large too.
In particular, the low-income population often run the risk of diseases just due to a lack of awareness, late diagnosis and costly treatment. In such a situation, a charity-based specialised healthcare facility in Abbottabad has been playing an important role in improving the health of marginalised people.
