Provide assistance for doctor visits, lab tests, surgeries and medicines
to poor patients diagnosed with contagious diseases
In developing countries like Pakistan, it is not un-common to have an
unemployment rate of 50% or higher. Those who are fortunate enough to
hold a job, depending on their profession and experience, typically they
earn between $20 and $200 per month. The head of household often
supports a family of five to seven members as well as parents, and
sometimes siblings.
These severe economic circumstances result in less attention to personal
hygiene in the family. This creates various medical problems. The
problems are often ignored and can develop severe, long-term health
related issues. Furthermore, school going children catch various
diseases, but treatment is often neglected.
It is difficult to support each and every medical case. Hence HRO has
focused its efforts to serve patients with contagious diseases to
protect their families and community at large from catching these
diseases. HRO supports patients suffering from contagious diseases and
provides them access to doctors, lab tests, medicines and follow-up
visits. In addition, assistance is give to patients who need surgeries
in the localities where HRO operates.
