As we have already mentioned on our Home Page about the deprived condition of our Church’s region that there is limitless poverty, unemployment, drugs addictions etc. There is no medical facility available here. Hospitals are very far from this region. Due to bad economical condition people are unable to go to city areas for treatment, and so many people die for lack of medical facilities. There is no emergency treatment arrangement available for delivery cases. Out of compulsion un-trained and inexperienced women deal with the delivery cases. But results in this regards are unpleasant. therefore, sometimes children die and sometimes women die. CCM provides treatment up to First Aid to these poor people, but is unable to provide proper medical facilities. We request to national and international donors to cooperate us in setting up FREE DISPENSARY. This is indeed the most urgent Nobel Mission for community uplift.
AMBULANCE FACILITY for this area is the most urgent need. If this facility is available people can be taken to hospitals emergently and their lives can be saved. We specially request to national and international donors to cooperate with us in this noble mission.
Children Chapel is located in Youhanabad, an area that is plagued with poverty, unemployment, drugs, and additions. It is a crowded area with a population of about 80,000 people.
Yet, still today, there is no medical care facility in Youhanabad. Also, there is no ambulance service to quickly take emergency patients to one of the hospitals in Lahore. Few very people have cars to take their loved ones to the hospital themselves. It is very difficult for a family member to carry a medical emergency patient to a hospital on a motorcycle. Therefore, many people die because of lack of medical help.
In addition, out of compulsion, un-trained and inexperienced women sometimes deal with the urgent child delivery cases. But the results are unpleasant, and sometimes women and/or babies die.
Free 1-Day Medical Camps:
To serve the community, Children Chapel has worked with Pakistani NGOs, such as Care Channel, to arrange free 1-day medical camps at Children Chapel. We hold these camps twice a year. Many kinds of medical specialists and doctors come. Doctor Noel, a friend of Pastor Shakeel Anjum, also comes and works with the team during these camps.
WE REQUEST the Government of Pakistan to cooperate with us to set up a FREE MEDICAL DISPSENSARY in Youhanabad to handle emergency cases. In this way, many lives can be saved. Patients could then be transported to another hospital in Lahore.
