Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Trust

INTRODUCTION

Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Trust, Northern Bypass, Multan was established in April, 1999.

It is a non-governmental, non-political and non-profit charitable organization. The Board of

Trustees was always moved by the plight of the poor. It realized deeply that a large segment

of population in Pakistan was li ving below the poverty line and it was in dire need of genuine

support from the affluent class of society. Then it flashed into their minds that there could

not be a better idea of serving the lower strata of society than the establishment of the

present Trust to serve them on permanent basis.

Prior to the establishment of the Trust a n outdoor dispensa ry was setup in January, 1998 at

Mas oom Shah Road, Multan. The response was encouraging and the Board of Trustees

decided to establish the Trust and accordingly it was formed and registered by the Sub-

registrar Urban Multan under the Trust Act of 1882 vide registration No. 3164/1 dated 08-

05-1999. Trust is also duly certified by Pakistan centre for philanthropy (PCP).

The list of the members of the Board of Trust and its governing body is stated below

doctors, our medical teams providethem complete treatment and

medicines free of cost for general

diseases especially for children,

women and olda ge people.

From the establishment of first

community healthcare center in 1998, by the grace of Almighty ALLAHA, we

have treated over 731,000 patients in these centers and spent over Rs. 19.77

million on free medications.

2. A BIG STEP FORWARD Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Hospital

Keeping in view the deficiency of health care facilities available t o the population of the

Southern Punjab in general and the population of the Multan Division in particular, The

Trust decided ultimately to establish Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Trust Hospital, Northern

Bypass, Multan. In order to obtain this challenging objective a big piece of land

measuring about 12 acre was purchased on Northern Bypass, Multan for a handsome

amount. A renowned architect was engaged to design a 500 bedded hospital. The

present designed hospital would consist of 7 blocks as under:-

Out Patient Block

Emergency Block

Diagnostic Block

Medical Block

Surgical Block

Mother & Child Care (MCA) Block

Services Block

The proposed covered area spread over 7 blocks is 352000 Sqft and 125,000 Sqft of 4

residential areas around 43% land has been left for roads, parks, parking sheds and

landscaped areas to meet with environmental requirements and to give a touch ofnatural beauty to the hospital. The estimated project cost of the hospital is Rs. 2 Billion.

The design of the building provides a blend of modern and traditional architecture in the

shape of purpose built teac hing hospital, laboratories, operation theatres a nd residential

area.

Multan and the above said Womens University would not be far from the

Hospital Complex. As a result new residential colonies are developing. At

present Model Town and WAPADA Town are rapidly developing. A host of

other colonies like P.I.A. colony, Green Fort Town, Green Fort + Town and

Mujahid City a re the ne w residential de veloping schemes. The s ituation of

the hospital a lso suits the general public of Khanewal, Mian Channu, andKabirwala. As Head Mohammad Wala Bridge is in progress, the travel time

to and from DG Khan will also reduce to an hour.

Charity does not mean

second-rate services. To

adhere these believe BAMT takes

care of targeted poverty-stung

community, especially those who are

life. Following the policy, hospital will

provide access to its medical services

to poor community, the department

ensures that all the necessary su pport is extended free of cost.


10/21

Page 10 of21


More than 90 % of

total patients, who

visit BAMH every year,

belong to hand-to-

mouth e conomi c

category. More thanoften they are not

able to bear the cost

of medical treatment. BAMT helps these patients

keeping aside their religion, color, residence or other

distinction. During last ten years, from 1998 to 2009,

the Social Welfare Department of BAMT has provided Rs 244.43 million in welfare

assistance for physical wellbeing of targeted poor community.

4. HEPATITIS PREVENTION & CONTROL PROGRAM

One in every ten is suffering from Hepatitis in our community. We live with threat of

being infected every day. As we all know

Hepatitis falls under the category of

communicable disease. Problems arise

when a patient infects a healthy person

just because he himself does not know

that he can transmit the disease he can

be more conscious.

Better is the devil you know that the

devil you dont know.

Trust spread its curiosity in prevention of

hepatit is from southern Punjab and

establishes a Hepatitis Prevention & Control

Center under Hepatitis Prevention & Control

program in January 2008 in Southern Punjab

which remained deprived of such awareness and facility.

To know the gravity of the situation BA MT arranges a massive screening Campaign in

southern Punjab in Phase-I. By the grace of Almighty Allah, we have screened &

vaccinated over 75,000 residents of southern Punjab with the collaboration of WHO and

Govt. EPI program.

The camps were perform in the following areas

Population of Southern Punjab is 35 Million according to recent figures. According to the

results we have 2.6 million hepatitis C patients in Southern Punjab. Bakhtawar Amin

Memorial Trust established a treatment centers to fight with hepatitis growth.

Initially we setup a treatment center in the premises of Bakhtawar Amin Memorial

Hospital to test the results. We have registered 351 patients last years. 263 Patients

were treated successfully in six months period and others were suggested prolonged

therapy out of which 53 patients shows positive PCR results. Our success rate is morethan 83%.

In treatment of these patients we face different challenges like,

To convince patients to visit hospital e very alternative day.

To ensure the cold chain of medicine.

To educate the patient about the cold chain management at home.

To convince the patient for periodic checkups and investigations.

5. PAIMAN (Pakistan Ini tiative for Mothers and New Born)

The situation of maternal, newborn and child

health in Pakistan is one of the poorest in

South Asia. Despite some improvements in the

1990s, Pakistan has lagged behind many of it

neighbors in terms of health and population

outcomes. The infant mortality rate of 78 per

1000 live births and a recently calculated

maternal mortality rate of 276 per 100,000

live

births

are both higher than other neighboring South

Asian countries. Very high fertility rates, a high

unmet need for family planning and very low rates

of skilled birth attendance are some of the

fundamental underlying causes for the poor healthof women and children in Pakistan. There are

numerous additional factors affecting this

si tuation, including political instability, poor

governance, rising religious c onservatism and

militancy, a vastly under-resourced public

social sector, and a poorly functioning public

sector health service delivery system at the

district level.

To overcome this problem and creating

awareness among the communities, BAMT has joined hand with JSI Research & TrainingInstitute, Inc. and USAID to accept this challenge and undertaken a holistic approach for

improving maternal and newborn health in the district Multan which ranges from

interventions within the community, within

the public a nd private sector, and with district

healthsystems.

The community BCC and mobilization

component has been working to improve

families awareness about maternal and

newborn health issues. This communication

and mobilization strategy has been closely linked with a second component which seeksto i mprove access to and the quality of public and private sector heal th care delivery at

the district level. This has included the training

of public and private sector providers in

Essential and Emergency Obstetric and

Newborn Care, with a special emphasis on the

training of a new cadre of community-based

midwives as a long-term solution to increasing

rates of skilled birth attendance.

ANOTHER STEP FORWARD / PURCHASE OF LAND FOR MEDICAL COLLEGE

A piece of land of about 12 acres situated just opposite to the hospital and across the road,

belonged to the Government of the Punjab. The Provincial Government was approached to

allot it to the Trust on payment at market rates. The Government after taking into

consideration the noble cause of the Trust and evaluating its performance was kind enough

to allot this piece of land to the Trust on market price of Rs. 11.6 Million. It would be used

for construction of the Medical College, Hostel for students, Nursing School, Allied Research

Institutes and Training Centers for different disciplines.

APPROVAL OF THE TRUST FOR EXEMPTION FROM INCOME TAX

The Trust was approved under Rule 214 (5) of the Income Tax Rules 2002 read with Section 2

(36) of the Income Tax Ordinance 2001. Hence donations given to the Trust enjoy exemptionfrom the ambit of Income Tax.

MAINTENANCE OF ACCOUNTS & ITS AUDITING

Accounts of the Trust are neatly and accurately maintained. These are absolutely

transparent and open to inspection at a ll times. The accounts are duly audited and certified

by M/s Javed Chaudhary & Co. Chartered Accountants, Lahore.

AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT

BAMT can safely say that whatever it has done so far has been done solely, without any

external support. However, for translating the upcoming projects into a vivid reality, saving

more lives and educating more people a bout their rights, BAMT is looking for potential

partners, support organizations, funding agencies and corporate sector (for joint ventures

under CSR) to be its ally in the war against pain and sufferings.

BAMH is s ustainable, in its present shape, by generating funds in under mentioned ways:

BAMT: Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Trusts trustees generously supply resources, a nd

their monthly donations are disbursed to welfare patients through Social Welfare

Department. The average monthly support received so far is Rs. 03.34 million per

month.

Hospital revenues: Hospital's revenues are also meant to add to the wellbeing fund.

BAMT Commercial Plaza: The revenue of Rs. 0.14 million generated from the

BAMT Commercial Plaza is put t o the side a nd exclusively used to s upport free

Health services & medicines at Community Health Centers.

FUTURE PLANS

In order to cater the increasing workload of patients and bring health services within the

reach of deprived people of Southern Punjab which they just dream of, BAMT has following

endeavors in coming days;

Orthopedic Sports Injury Center

Cardiac Surgery & Care Centre

Epilepsy & Stroke Centre

Construction of Second Block

Nursing Hostel

Serae (For patients attendants)

Transport Facility

Medical College

Orthopedic SportsInjury Center

We a re in the process of establishment of an Orthopedic Sports Injury Center, which will

be the first of its kind in southern Punjab to provide the treatment for the orthopedic

injury patients. We have a lready purchased most of the machinery and to get the

remaining, we require Rs. 3 Million more.

Cardiac Surgery & Care Center

Heart attack is the l eading cause of deaths in Pakistan. At present, about 41% deaths in

Pakistan are occurred due to Heart Attacks. This number can be decreased by earlydiagnosis and treatment. Both are out of the reach of the poor strata of the society.

BAMT has accepted this challenge and is going to establish Cardiac Care Centre at its

Hospital. To achieve this, BAMT has purchased two states of the art Cath-labs and its

accessories for angiography and angioplasty. To install the machinery and to hire the

appropriate human recourse, we are lack ofRs. 5 million.

Epilepsy & Stroke Centre

Overall prevalence of epilepsy in Pakistan is estimated to be 9.99 per 1000 population.

Highest prevalence is seen in people younger than 30 years of a ge. A slight decrease in

prevalence is noted between the ages of 40 and 59. Higher prevalence is observed in

rural population as compared to Urban population. Only 27.5% epileptic persons in

urban areas and 1.9% in the rural areas are able to get treatment. The burden of

epilepsy is not fully eval uated and understood. Knowledge about epilepsy and its care is

extremely low. The majority of people with epilepsy are treated inadequately or

inappropriately.

For creating Awareness and providing treatment, BAMT InshaAllah in September 2009

will start First Epilepsy & Stroke Centre in Southern Punjab.

Second Block

Day by day, the number of deserving patients approaching Bakhtawar Amin Trust

Hospital is increasing due to free of cost modern medical facilities. To cater the future


21/21

Page 21 of21


requirements and accommodate new departments, we need to build the second block

as initially designed. Total construction cost of the new block is about Rs. 85 million.

Nursing Hostel

Hospitalization in true sense means Nursing Care. To facilitate specialized around thecloc k nursing care a vailability for patients, at present BAMT has established a Nursing

Hostel within the premises of the Hospital which provide boarding facility to 20 female

Nursing and paramedic s taff members while for male paramedical staff a nearby place is

rented. To meet the hospital e xpansion and to consolidate the boarding facilities at one

place, BAMT has planned to construct Nursing Hostel with in the vicinity of its Hospital

as initially designed.

Serae (For Patients attendants)

Majority of the Patients come to Bakhtawar Amin Memorial Hospital from far flung a nd

remote areas. They are mostly from the deserving class and dont even have funds formedicines and medical Treatment. To facilitate the attendants of such patients who

cannot a fford any boarding lodging, BAMT has planned to construct a Sara-aye with all

the basic amenities. This project will cost around Rs. 6.00 million.

Transportation Facility

To improve the emergency patients access to the hospital , we need further addition in

our transport facilities and for this we need Rs. 10 Million.

Medical College

In Pakistan, every year, about 30,000 bright students pass F.Sc premedical examination

in First Division, securing over 65% marks and desire to join medical colleges. Out of that

pool of young and talented students, only a bout 4000 students are able to s ecure

admission in medical colleges and the remaining about 26,000 do not succeed though

they are very keen to join this profession.

Out of these unsuccessful candidates, about 800 go abroad to Russia and other former

Soviet republics, China, Bangladesh, Philippines and Caribbean states for medical

education costing huge sum of foreign exchange to the families a nd to the government
