Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) with support from an NGO ChildLife Foundation will establish a state-of-the-art children’s Emergency Room (ER) at its Children Hospital.
An agreement in this regard was signed on Monday and according to the agreement, this new project will provide emergency care to children at PIMS.
The agreement was signed by Dr. Abid Malik, Chairman Board of Governors FMTI PIMS, and Iqbal Adamjee, Chairman ChildLife Foundation, on behalf of their organizations.
Dr. Abid Malik commended ChildLife Foundation’s efforts for providing emergency care to children in Sindh and Balochistan, where ChildLife operates 10 Emergency Rooms.
“We believe this partnership will improve the quality of medical services for children in the federal territory of Pakistan,” Dr. Malik said.
“ChildLife Foundation treats a million children annually completely free of cost through its 11 ERs in major government teaching hospitals, and over 50 telemedicine satellite centers in district hospitals across Sindh and Balochistan,” said Iqbal Adamjee.
“This is our 12th project, under which the capacity of the existing children’s ER in PIMS will be doubled and the facilities will be aligned with international emergency care protocols,” he added.
It is pertinent to mention that, since its inception in 2011, ChildLife Foundation has provided quality emergency care to over 4 million children across Pakistan.
