Medical Doctors and Nurses Shortage in Pakistan
In country like Pakistan which has a population of 220 million – a 5th largest country in the world – there is extreme shortage of Doctors, Nurses and Para-Medics staff. Also, the available Medical Professionals and staff prefers to stay and work in the cities. BQF has focused Health Care projects are in Rural Pakistan, therefore it is very important for BQF to have its own Medical/Nursing/Paramedical College and later even a Medical University. We aim to achieve this by three phased interventions in the field of medical education.
Phase One- College of Nursing/Para-Medics
As part of our phase one programmer, BQF College of Health Sciences for Nursing/PARAM-Medics is under construction. We are getting lots of support from our Donors. An appeal is placed below for your kind support to complete the remaining constructions, furnishing, and Lab items. After completing the first year of the college, BQF would Go for organizing the teaching classes of Para-Medicals and in the 2nd year it would start NURSING Classes as well.
Phase Two- Medical College
In the Phase Two, BQF plans to start its own Medical College attached to BEGUM NOOR MEMORIAL HOSPITALs Network. We have started planning for it.
Phase Three- Medical University
Any body who walks into the Hospital is to be treated whether he got money or no money. Patients who are eligible for Zakat are treated FREE of Cost on the Zakat account. Other needy and poor patients are treated against Donations either FREE of Cost on subsidized cost which varies from case to case. Well to do families are required to pay their Bill for the services they get.
