BACKGROUND
In t he 1980s a g roup of medical students at Dow Medical College
in K arachi for m ed an organization called t he Patients Welfare
Association to raise funds for t he poor patients at Civil Hospit al.
When a deva st ating ter ror ist bom b blast occur red in K arachi
a fter t he Russian invasion of K abul in 1984, Civil Hospit al was
unprepared to cope wit h t he cat a strophe. In response, a g roup of
young, idealistic Patients
Welfare Association members led by A bdul Bar i Khan, raised
money to refurbish t he emergency depar tment and build a blood
bank at Civil Hospit al. The exper ience ear ned t he g roup a
I was ver y clear from day one t hat t he hospit al had to be free,
Bar i said. The people we see are t he poorest of t he poor. They
dont have money for transpor t, let alone to top off t heir care. I

patients from my work in t he public sector.

however, Dr. Zafar Zaidi, Indus Hospit al Medical Director and an
initial skeptic, became convinced t hat Pakist a ni philant hropy
could suppor t Bar is vision. All deeply religious, t he founder s
had fait h t hat t hrough t heir hard work resources would become
available. Additionally, t hey had est a blished broad networks of
wealt hy Pa kist anis willing to donate to t heir char it able
initiatives.
The founder s also believed t hat all patients had a r ight to high
quality care, regardless of ability to pay, and t hat donor s, in
tur n, would more eagerly suppor t a char ity hospit al t hat off ered
patients t he latest technology and t he highest quality ser vice
available in Pa kist an. The chair man of t he hospit als board of
directors, who was also a major donor, wrote in a quar terly
