| Your generous Zakat given this Ramadan is being distributed to LRBT’s Lar Multan hospital in Punjab, Pakistan. The Zakat will cover nearly 10,000 major surgeries this year from cataracts to IOL implants – which is a tiny, artificial lens for the eye. It replaces the eye’s natural lens that is removed during the cataract surgery. The biggest concerns with patients in Multan is cataract and they are sadly affected with; blurry vision, poor night vision, double vision, headaches and frequent change in optical power. Throughout COVID, Lar Multan has been fully operational, but they are following strict guidelines from the government, providing masks to all patients, maintaining strict social distant and ensuring the safety of all doctors and paramedics by wearing the required PPE. Lar Multan hospital has nine doctors and seven nurses, the hospital is built on 12 kanal (7260 sq yards) and is 28 minutes’ drive from Multan city. On average the patients that are treated at the hospital are both male and female from the age of 40 – 70. They are working class families and 90% of the patients are from remote areas of extreme poverty and cannot afford treatment or surgeries. |
| We still need your help! We funded approximately 10,000 surgeries at Lar Multan hospital but we want to fund the whole year. For that, we need to raise $100,000 more. Can you help? Donate |
