Helpline Health Projects
Pakistan has been listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of 57 nations facing a severe shortage of health workers, and the country ranks 122nd globally in terms of the quality of its healthcare services. Tragically, Pakistan also has one of the highest rates of infant mortality in the world.
Helpline Social Welfare Foundation has established a nationwide network to ensure that people, regardless of their socio-economic status, have access to top-quality healthcare. This includes numerous hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, diagnostic centres, and blood banks, as well as mobile medical camps and ambulances. Notably, the foundation has implemented successful initiatives in remote and underdeveloped regions like Tharparkar in Sindh and Quetta in Balochistan.
The foundation’s efforts have proven particularly beneficial in underdeveloped areas like Tharparkar in Sindh and Quetta in Balochistan. These regions, which have traditionally been deprived of healthcare facilities, have benefited significantly from the foundation’s healthcare initiatives. By ensuring that people in remote and impoverished areas receive quality healthcare, the foundation has made a significant contribution towards improving the overall health of the nation and reducing the disparities between different segments of society.
