Mobilink Donates State-of-the-Art Mobile Dispensary to Khidmat Foundation
Islamabad - 26th August, 2015: Mobilink
donated a state-of-the-art mobile dispensary to Khidmat Foundation, at a
handing over ceremony in Islamabad. This newly delivered vehicle, fittingly
titled the Mobile Dispensary, will be used by Khidmat Foundation to provide free
medical assistance to the rural population around Islamabad who have a limited
access to medical centers, dispensaries and hospitals. The dispensary houses a
qualified doctor
commissioned by Khidmat Foundation, basic testing tools for common ailments and
stocks of various medicine. Its areas
of operation include Bari Imam, Pind Sangrial, Alipur Farash, Romali and Loi Bhair.
This move further strengthens the
long standing partnership between the two organizations, which began back in
2007 when Mobilink Foundation donated its first mobile dispensary unit to
Khidmat Foundation.
Speaking at the ceremony about
Mobilink Foundation’s Health initiatives, Omar Manzur, Head of Corporate
Communications – Mobilink stated, “Our aim with Mobilink Foundation’s investments in healthcare is
very simple - the universal provision of basic but essential health services to
every needy Pakistani. Towards this end the Foundation has supported a number
of medical institutions across Pakistan through the provision of hospital
supplies and medicine.”
Speaking about Mobilink’s
partnership with Khidmat Foundation, he further added, “Our partnership with
Khidmat Foundation, a leading NGO, looks to provide greater impetus towards our
goals and accelerates our initiatives in the health sector since it allows us
to tap in to their large medical facilitation network. We will continue to look
for ways to enhance this partnership for the greater good of the nation.”
The establishment of the Mobilink Foundation in 2008 is a
reflection of the commitment of Mobilink and its employees towards their host
communities. It is the only registered
NGO that belongs to the Telecom Sector and winner of the GSMA Mobile Award 2013
for its SMS Based Literacy Program. The Foundation, working through the spirit
of volunteerism of Mobilink employees, has a mission to provide improved
access to education and healthcare, developing a clean and green Pakistan as
well as providing relief during times of natural disasters.
