Thar has been in news from many years because of the deaths of infants which were caused by malnutrition and unavailability of basic health facilities. To meet this basic requirement Engro and Indus Hospital have joined hands.
Indus Hospital CEO Dr. Abdul Bari and CEO Of Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company (SECMC) entered into an agreement after which the clinic currently run by SECMC will be handed over to Indus Hospital which will be converted into a 100 bed hospital.
Previously the clinic in Islamkot, known as Marvi Mother & Child Health Clinic, provided women and child health related facilities. The clinic with a female gynecologist, ultra sound machine and free consultation & medicines has provided services to 6,000 patients in 18 months.
Now Dr. Abdul Bari is aiming to convert the clinic into a state of the art Hospital with complete facilities for the surrounding area.
