Pakistan Visit | Dr Abdur Raoof
In November 2015, SEHT Chairman Dr. Raoof made a visit to Pakistan to
ensure our ongoing commitment to health and education. His trip
included a follow-up visit to the Sialkot medical Complex where SEHT
has previously supplied specialised renal dialysis beds and we are
looking into supplying a further 5 hospital bed mattresses.
Dr. Raoof was also pleased to find that the Aabroo Welfare High School
for Girls was flourishing as evidenced by a larger campus.
Previously supplied computer equipment has been moved to the Boys
School on another site and we hope to donate books to the school’s
growing library.
The Aziz Jahan Begum Trust for the Blind delivers first class education
to the blind. It is a unique and impressive charitable institution
to which SEHT contributed Rs 1.6 million for the development of a
Kid’s Complex. Dr. Raoof
attended the site and was happy to see that construction was
progressing well and at the time
completion was expected
within 2 months. We hope to be able to help with equipping
some of the facilities in due course.

The Al Ehsan Welfare Eye Hospital based in Lahore provides free expert
eye examinations and specialised treatments. It also provides
general outpatient checks, diabetic care and free medicine where
needed. Visits there revealed an impressive hospital with a high
level of cleanliness and experienced doctors. In order to continue
much valued patient care, they require specialist ophthalmic
equipment and Dr. Raoof was able to source the provision of a new
slit lamp for them.

Dr. Raoof took the opportunity to also meet with Oncolink, pharmaceutical
suppliers of anti-cancer medication. He also visited the Lahore
office of Strongman, a hospital furniture manufacturer. Building
working relationships with those able to assist us in our endeavour
to supply quality resources in health and education is vitally
important. For this reason, Dr. Raoof also made contact with the
Decent Welfare Society, a healthcare organisation which amongst
other projects runs a Cleft Centre for the treatment of individuals
affected by cleft palate. Arrangements are in the pipeline but we
hope this will go on to be a relationship of benefit to both
organisation’s charitable aims.

In summary, over the past year,
Alhamdulillah SEHT has been able to provide a Rs 1.2 million slit
lamp to the Al Ehsan Welfare Eye Hospital and almost Rs 200 000
worth of anti-cancer medications to the patient welfare society at
INMOL (Lahore). The construction of the Kid’s Complex at the AJB
Institute for the Blind has progressed well and we hope to be able
to visit the completed site soon. Thanks to the on-going generosity
of those donating to SEHT, The Aabroo Educational Welfare
Organisation has been supplied with 20 whiteboards and 20 wooden
desks for the children, adding to the computers, sewing machines and
science laboratory equipment provided the year before. We continue
to sponsor 4 children’s education with Aabroo and have made
quarterly donations of Rs 35000 to the Sharif Trust Hospital
Medicine Fund, to enable its continuing provision of free medical
consultations and treatment.
