October 8th 2005 was probably the most unfortunate day in the history of Pakistan. A devastating Earth Quake hit the Northern areas of Pakistan including Azad Kashmir. As soon as it was realised that a major disaster had occurred the nation responded very quickly and strongly.

The team at Doctors Hospital & Medical Centre didn’t stay behind. Immediate plans were made. Patients were rescued and transferred from affected areas on our own ambulances and surgeries were performed round the clock. The process continued till no more patients were available for transfer. These Earth Quake victims very provided with every facility including international standard operations, hospital stay, food, clothes, telephone and pocket money. On their discharge the patients were provided with transport to the destination of their choice, tents, food, house hold utensils, medicines and cash- all free of cost. A number of Earth Quake affected patients ate still admitted with us for long term treatment.

The discharged patients were issued with I.D cards for further follow up. More patients are still arriving on their own, who are accepted and treated with out any financial burden on them. As an extension to the project 100-fiberglass Igloo houses have been ordered and are being delivered across the snow line. Corrugated sheets have been provided for 35 houses. In addition 100 steel structure / fiberglass huts are in process of being made which will be installed in areas around BALAKOT.

Doctors Hospital & Medical Centre team has contributed financially also and is continuously gathering funds from their friends, relatives and public to make it possible.

We continue to work towards the rehabilitation of our Earth Quake affected brothers and sisters till they are back to living their normal lives.
