Health
People from lower social levels in general, with women in particular, struggle to see their needs met. This is reflected by the rates of post-partum and neonatal mortality in the country, which are still dangerously high.
Moreover, doctors and other health professionals are primarily located within urban areas, making it difficult to run clinics in rural areas due to a lack of personnel.
Hospital
We hope to address this through the Hope Welfare Trust Hospital, where mothers are able to give birth safely, life-saving operations can be performed, vital medication can be administered and patients can receive dental care.
That’s why the hospital has been built for the purpose of reducing preventable deaths and complications, which occur frequently due to the lack of maternity facilities in rural areas of Kashmir. To ensure even more lives are saved, we have built an operating theatre within the hospital, costing £100,000, and an ambulance service to support the community.
Pharmacy
Seeing a doctor or nurse is just one part of a treatment. But staying well often requires medicine, which can sometimes be for life. How can someone, with next to nothing, afford often expensive medicine?
This is how the dispensing pharmacy, inside the Hope Welfare Trust Hospital, helps to further improve the lives of many struggling families, by giving them free prescriptions, saving lives and strengthening them for the future.
Dental Clinic
With many families struggling for the most basic of necessities, medical treatments, including dental treatments, seem like a luxury, which they simply can’t afford. This can lead to many dental issues being untreated, causing thousands of people to have to struggle with excruciating pain daily.
However, with their free medical treatment card, families can get essential dental checks and treatment they need each year.
Hope Welfare Trust has therefore built a modern dentist clinic to support people in the surrounding areas. But we need your support to keep it going.
Dialysis Centre
Our new Dialysis Unit, in our Hope Welfare Trust hospital, opened on 12th August 2022. The unit uses modern equipment to support those struggling. Dialysis allows those affected to live safely, without the fear of life-threatening conditions. That’s why we need your support to keep our dialysis unit functioning.
