About Us
Who we are
According to UNICEF, children born in low income countries are more likely to die before reaching age 5. The 2021 under-five mortality rate (U5MR) for low income countries was 67 deaths per 1,000 live births, which is 14 times higher than for high income countries where 2021 U5MR was just 5 deaths per 1,000 live births.
These tragic and massive loss of lives, most of which were due to preventable or treatable causes is a stark reminder of the urgent need to end preventable deaths of children. Sadly, these deaths were largely preventable with widespread and effective interventions like improved care around time of birth, vaccination and nutritional supplementation.
Pakistan is among the top 15 countries where pneumonia – a preventable, treatable and easily diagnosed disease- is still the biggest killer of young children.
The question is why an alarmingly high number of children still dying of such a preventable disease for which vaccines and effective treatment is available?
Various problems are encountered while taking a sick child to a clinic or hospital. Financial costs, lack of awareness, inaccessibility( esp in far flung areas of Pakistan) impede the effective treatment of children and even if they do end up getting treated, it is by unprofessional doctors or “ quacks”.
It is under these circumstances that HWF came in with the mission to provide every child with quality and affordable healthcare.
Our Mission
• To provide lifesaving medical care to those in need and those who cant access it (esp. In far flung areas of Pakistan).
• To intervene with cost effective healthcare preventive measures.
• To disseminate and spread awareness pertaining to child and mother’s care.
• To eliminate misconceptions regarding immunization as many infectious diseases in children are largely preventable through vaccination.
Our Vision
A nation in which everyone has access to quality healthcare.
Our Values
• Accessibility
• Equity
• Humility
• Quality
• Teamwork
Message from the CEO
While working at the pediatric Emergency department of one of the biggest tertiary healthcare hospitals, I witnessed that many children came to the ED with life threatening conditions . I also noticed one more thing which was quite alarming that the parents of these sick children had been seeking medical advice from “quacks” or unprofessional doctors. If these children had initially been treated at some primary health care clinic or opd then their condition would not have deteriorated to such an extent. It is for this reason that Healers For All Welfare Foundation was established which aims to make quality and affordable healthcare accessible to to every child. I strongly believe that right to health is the basic right of every child irrespective of their social status and its our duty and responsibility to give back to the society in which we live.
At HWF clinic our trained doctors and staff are treating patients and providing free of cost medications. We also have trained counsellors to counsel parents regarding the care & treatment at home as many people come from uneducated backgrounds. I am very proud of the fact that we are also offering routine laboratory tests at the most affordable price.
Me and my team’s quest to serve the destitute gives us the strength to work with full dedication and sincerity. We always welcome support offered in any way so please volunteer or donate in any way possible. Join us in this great endeavor to turn the tide!
Dr Muhammad Hashir, CEO Healers For All Welfare Foundation.
