The first two months of our new clinic in Gulbella, Pakistan

by Dr. Zahoor Uddin and Dr. Rubina Mumtaz

Real Medicine Foundation in collaboration with the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America (APPNA) established a primary health clinic in Gulbella, Charsadda District of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, aiming to provide free health services at the unit for the Pakistan flood affectees.

This clinic was established in a record short period of time – 7 days – and was formally inaugurated by Dr. Rubina Mumtaz, Country Director, RMF Pakistan, on December 19, 2010. People of the area consider the establishment of the BHU a noble act on the part of the RMF/APPNA since health has always been one of the basic and the most important issues of the region. The facility treats an average of around 50 patients a day.

From December 15th, 2010 through January 30th, 2011, 1,897 patients were diagnosed and treated at the RMF- APPNA Basic Health Unit, Gulbella, 38% of these patients were males and 62% females. 7% of the all patients were children. 19 women came for antenatal visits, 86 women visited the clinic for OB/GYN problems, and 15 women came to receive advice on family planning.

The response of the community has been very positive. They appreciate the presence of a doctor and Lady Health Visitor (LHV) who handles female related diseases (maternal cases). There were few medical facilities available in the region only far from their homes

Being poor, people were unable to hire vehicles to get to the health centers. They perceive the establishment of the Basic Health Unit at their door steps as nothing less than a blessing. And the people are therefore very thankful to RMF and APPNA for the establishment of the facility.

RMF Pakistan Update: Emergency Flood Relief and Outreach

August 6, 2010 in Asia, Disaster Relief, Donate, General, Pakistan, Providing Medical Support, Rebuilding Communities by Jonathan White | Comments closed

The news coming out of Pakistan is that the initial flooding estimates over the past few days were far too low, with government relief agencies now saying that at least 12 million people are affected and that it is clearly on track to be “the biggest disaster in the history of Pakistan”.

At least 650,000 houses have been destroyed; roads and electricity infrastructure have been severely decimated. Flood victims are so far receiving very little in emergency aid as their government has focused many of its limited resources in recent months on trying to contain the Taliban and at dealing with an economic crisis. In a region of this country already on the tipping point of becoming more disillusioned, it is more important than ever to offer whatever help we can.

Our Primary Health Care Clinic and staff are located in the state of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, directly in the area most affected by the flooding, and for the past week our doors have been open to accept the many flood victims from the surrounding area and villages.

The only other health facilities, the Balakot District Hospital and a second, smaller facility have been severely damaged by the flooding, leaving Real Medicine’s clinic as the only fully functioning health facility in Balakot Valley, an area with a population of over 150,000 people.  Local government officials have asked RMF to be ready to accommodate the tremendous influx of patients they are expecting.  RMF held 4 outreach health camps for flood victims in the same area in 2009 and we are gearing up to provide assistance again.

We greatly appreciate any additional support you may be able provide to ensure that our clinic is able to handle this huge increase in patient demand and that we can hopefully offer the same outreach to communities that are not able to reach our clinic.
