From Crisis to Care: Patients’ Aid transforms ‘Accident and Emergency’ Department at Jinnah Hospital, Karachi

In the marginalized regions of Pakistan, where poverty casts a heavy veil over the prospects of hope and desperation, unspoken healthcare struggles persist. These battles pit life against death, where individuals unable to afford private hospitals frequently find themselves helpless. Within this paradigm, access to quality healthcare is dictated by privilege, resulting in numerous innocent lives being adversely affected by the absence of an affordable or free well equipped medical facility.

Patients’ Aid JPMC has emerged as a saviour amidst this turmoil. This healthcare non-profit recognizes the patients’ rights and welfare in Pakistan and understands that healthcare is not a luxury but a basic right for every one.

Imagine a young man, his body broken and severely injured, lying on the roadside. Passersby ignore his cries for help, as they cannot comprehend the extent of his suffering. Here, Patients’ Aid’s refurbished  Accident & Emergency ward and Jinnah Hospital ensures that individuals facing such adversity are not abandoned or face lack of appropriate emergency help because of their financial constraints. 

Karachi, a city frequently affected by political riots and violence, law & order situation, building collapses and bomb blasts, the Accident and Emergency department at Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC), supported by Patients’ Aid, plays a vital role, handling approximately 75% of emergency and accident cases in Karachi, from burns and motor accidents to viral infections, epidemics, natural calamities, head injuries, and even bomb blast injuries. 

Recognizing the significance of a reliable healthcare facility, Patients’ Aid took the medical health initiative to renovate the department in 2008. Today, it showcases sanitized and clean wards, upgraded equipment, and enhanced accessibility, all aimed at enhancing patient care.

The recently renovated Accident and Emergency department stands as a symbol of resilience. Patients’ Aid JPMC has transformed the department so that the patients can get quicker and more effective medical care in times of crisis. Donor support has been critical in the transformation of Jinnah Hospital that has helped Patients’ Aid revamp the medical facility with modern infrastructure, advanced equipment and systems and instils reassurance among the residents of Karachi by extending healthcare assistance to the needy, absolutely free of charge. Their humanitarian efforts guarantee continued accessibility to quality healthcare, particularly in difficult situations.
