March Eye Camp 2013

The hospital's annual eye camp has just finished and was the most successful ever! Here are just some of the figures:

• In just 4 days surgeons restored sight to 205 cataract sufferers

• 700 people suffering eye complaints were treated

• 10,000 people visited the hospital, many suffering from general health problems that were treated.

These staggering statistics demonstrate just how important the hospital's work really is, being the only source of free healthcare for many thousands of citizens in surrounding areas.

House of Lords Fundraiser

Last Thursday we held a very special reception at The House of Lords in order to raise awareness and much needed funds for the Alma Bi Hospital. It was also an opportunity to celebrate some of the achievements of our biggest donors and fundraisers to date. 

The River Room was completely packed with old and new friends. So many thanks to the generous people who attended. Thousand of pounds were raised on the night and we hope that it also helped broadcast the message of our hospital's amazing work.

Ramadhan Appeal 2012

Please Help Us to Provide Free Medical services for the Needy

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah

I hope and pray that this letter finds you in the best of Imaan and health in this holy month.

Since its inception The Alma Hospital Trust has with the wonderful support of kind-hearted people like yourself, has been able to provide much need medical care to thousands of poor people in the Hafizabad District of Pakistan.

The Alma Bi Hospital continues to provide a vital daily service to the local community. We also send medical teams to remote rural areas which have no access to medical care, providing free treatment to those who have not had the resources to get private treatment or to go to state run hospitals many miles away.

The Alma Bi Hospital hosted another of its dedicated “eye” camp weeks in March 2012. Poor eye care is one of the major health problems in this region which has a profound effect on people’s daily lives. Many people were also given the opportunity to receive free treatment for other ailments and over 7,000 patients were seen in total.

Over 200 eye operations were performed – mainly for cataracts – with a 100% success rate.

In May 2012, with help of one of our supporters, we installed a deep bore water pump 360 feet underground and a water filtration system. Contaminated water is one of the major causes of ill health in this area. We have also provided external taps and drinking water fountains for the benefit of the whole community.   

So please mark this Ramadhan by giving as much as you can by sending us your Zakat, Sadaqah, Lillah, Fidya or Fitranadonations to our charity so it can continue its noble work for the poor and needy.

Those who give to charity night and day, secretly and publicly, receive their recompense from their Lord; they will have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve (Qur'an 2:274)

May Allah, Subhana Wa Tala, Bless you and your family for your support.

Wassalaam,
