Iss Mothers Day Banain Maa Ka Sahara!
Women Supporting Women Through Advanced Care at JPMC Karachi
“And We have commanded people to ˹honour˺ their parents. Their mothers bore them through hardship upon hardship, and their weaning takes two years. So be grateful to Me and your parents. To Me is the final return.” Surah Luqman 31:14
Long before the world began setting aside a day to honour mothers, the Quran had already elevated their sacrifice, patience, and silent endurance. A mother carries pain quietly. She continues serving her family while her own body weakens, concealing discomfort behind routine smiles so her children never sense the burden she is carrying alone.
There is perhaps no bond more profound, more tender, than the one Allah SWT created between a mother and her child. Yet countless mothers spend years neglecting their own health while prioritising everyone else around them. They worry about unpaid school fees before medical tests, household expenses before medicines, and their children’s meals before their own treatment. By the time many women finally arrive at JPMC in Karachi, they are not only seeking medical care. They are arriving after months, sometimes years, of silent suffering because survival at home demands sacrifice.
Inside one of Pakistan’s oldest and largest public hospitals, thousands of women wait patiently every day holding worn medical files, biopsy reports, prescriptions they could never afford, and fragile hope that someone will help them without asking whether they have money to survive treatment. At JPMC, supported by Patients’ Aid Foundation, that hope is answered with dignity, compassion, and care.

Patients’ Aid Foundation continues to provide Free healthcare in Karachi, ensuring women from vulnerable backgrounds receive treatment regardless of financial status. From breast cancer care and gynecology services to emergency treatment and maternal healthcare, the foundation continues standing beside mothers who have nowhere else to turn.
Mothers Who Arrive at JPMC Carry More Than Illness
Many women entering public hospitals are already physically drained long before diagnosis begins. Some travel overnight from rural Sindh. Others arrive carrying infants while enduring chronic pain themselves. There are many pregnant women who delayed important maternal scans because household expenses came first and mothers who sold jewelry to afford transport to Karachi.
At JPMC, these stories are painfully ordinary.
The Patients’ Aid Foundation was established over 3 decades for people who had nowhere else to turn. That purpose still shapes every department it supports. Patients are treated without discrimination, and financial hardship is never allowed to decide whether someone deserves medical attention.
For families unable to afford private hospitals, this support becomes indispensable.
- A cancer diagnosis in Pakistan can financially devastate an entire household. But free treatment can save their lives.
- Maternal complications can become fatal when treatment is delayed.
- Public healthcare institutions supported by charitable initiatives like Patients’ Aid at JPMC often become the final shield protecting vulnerable families.

The Reality Inside Pakistan’s Public Healthcare System
A private hospital is something an underserved community can not afford no matter the urgency. Which brings all the pressure on public hospitals to continue to cater to patients each year. Rising inflation, expensive diagnostics, and medication shortages have made more families miserable. Jinnah Hospital treats them with dignity, because they are equal.
The scale of care provided is immense.
Women Healthcare Services at JPMC
| Department | Annual Figures 2024-2025 |
| Gynae OPD Patients | 105,259 |
| Deliveries Conducted | 13,466 |
| Daily OPD Footfall at JPMC | Around 12,000 daily |
| Daily Emergency Cases | Approximately 2,000 daily |
Behind these figures are women enduring high-risk pregnancies, untreated infections, cancer diagnoses, and emergency complications while struggling financially.
Patients’ Aid Foundation continues renovating departments, improving patient facilities, funding medical technology, and strengthening treatment accessibility because overcrowded hospitals cannot function on limited resources alone.

The Breast Cancer Bay at JPMC For the Women by the Women
Breast cancer remains one of the most alarming health concerns affecting women in Pakistan. Yet many patients postpone screenings and treatment because of fear, financial limitations, or social discomfort surrounding medical consultations.
Patients’ Aid Foundation has taken a remarkable step toward changing that reality.
In collaboration with the Edhi Foundation the work has started for the establishment for the Bilquis and Abdul Sattar Edhi Breast Radiation Bay (BASE) at JPMC. The project will exclusively serve the women fighting breast cancer and will be operated entirely by women healthcare professionals. (Patients’ Aid Annual Report 2024-2025)
For many patients, comfort and privacy influence whether they seek treatment early or remain undiagnosed until disease progression becomes severe. A women-led breast cancer facility creates an atmosphere where patients feel safer discussing symptoms, undergoing screenings, and continuing long-term treatment.
| Facility Details | Information |
| Treatment Type | Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy |
| Daily Patient Capacity | 160 Patients |
| Treatment Cost | Free |
| Staff Structure | Women Operated Facility |
| Technology Included | Helix Tomotherapy, SGRT, DIBH |
| Collaboration | Patients’ Aid Foundation and Edhi Foundation |
The radiation bay introduces advanced systems that reduce radiation exposure to healthy organs while improving precision during cancer treatment. This significantly improves treatment quality for breast cancer patients receiving care at JPMC.

Gynecology and Obstetrics Care for Women
Another Women Healthcare transformed by Patients’ Aid at JPMC
For countless mothers, gynecology departments become the difference between safe childbirth and life long health complications. Patients’ Aid Foundation continues upgrading the Women Gynecology and Obstetrics Department at JPMC to improve treatment environments for women requiring urgent and long-term care.
The current renovation work at the gynae emergency room is underway and will soon provide improved emergency response facilities for women across Sindh and beyond.
These improvements are not decorative projects. They directly affect maternal survival, patient dignity, emergency handling capacity, and healthcare efficiency.
Inside overcrowded hospitals, physical infrastructure shapes medical outcomes more than most people realise. Better treatment spaces reduce delays, support medical teams, and improve patient safety during critical situations.
Why Patients’ Aid Foundation Matters to Families Across Pakistan?
The emotional burden of illness becomes heavier when families know treatment exists but remains financially unreachable. Patients’ Aid Foundation helps remove that barrier.
Through donor-funded initiatives, patients receive access to diagnostics, surgeries, medicines, chemotherapy, emergency treatment, and specialized medical care that many families could never afford privately.
At JPMC, medical care is not reserved for privilege.
A husband accompanying his wife for chemotherapy. A daughter bringing her mother for scans. A pregnant woman requiring emergency intervention. These moments unfold every hour inside the hospital, and charitable healthcare support keeps those moments from ending in helplessness.
Patients’ Aid also continues participating in awareness campaigns and humanitarian outreach programs focused on healthcare accessibility, breast cancer awareness, and patient welfare across Pakistan.
Mothers Day Should Also Be About Responsibility
This year, Patients’ Aid celebrates mothers by supporting healthcare systems that protect them from feeling different.
There are women inside JPMC spending Mothers Day attached to chemotherapy drips. Some are recovering after complicated deliveries. Others are waiting for biopsy reports while pretending to stay strong in front of their children.
Patients’ Aid Foundation continues serving these women because donors choose compassion over indifference.
Charitable healthcare should never pause because illness certainly does not. Every contribution helps sustain Free cancer treatment in Karachi, emergency care, maternal healthcare services, diagnostics, medicines, and hospital renovations for families who cannot survive these expenses alone.
A donation may fund treatment for someone whose children are waiting outside a ward praying their mother returns home safely.
