The Patients Welfare Association (PWA)
Patients Welfare Association (PWA) is a registered body with the Government of Sindh and is overseen by the senior management of Murshid Hospital and Health Care Centre (MH&HCC). It plays a vital role in fundraising for the hospital and organizing free medical camps for the underprivileged. PWA also coordinates with regular and conventional donors to collect funds necessary for the treatment of patients attending the welfare clinics daily. The PWA account is properly maintained and audited annually.
The Objective of PWA
PWA endeavors to provide easy access to MH&HCC medical services and offers welfare assistance to patients from underprivileged and low-income households, regardless of their religion, gender, race, color, creed, or domicile.
Treatment from Welfare Funds
Health care and treatment is a fundamental human right. Those unable to afford hospital treatment can apply for assistance through zakat funds or the hospital’s own resources. While Murshid Hospital offers treatment at special clinics at minimal charges, patients requiring expert consultation and specific treatment may be referred to PWA for further funding.
Patients or their attendants should fill out a Zakat Form, attach a copy of the CNIC, and apply for zakat or free treatment. Most patients referred to PWA clinics are in critical condition and require further specialist consultation.
