PCHF’s Programs

A preliminary feasibility for Pakistan’s first dedicated, state-of-the-art Children’s Heart Hospital and Research Institute was done by a leading consulting firm, and the estimated cost was USD 12 Million in 2012. In the absence of such funds, it was decided that PCHF should start another initiative, Project Mohsin, in parallel with Project CHHRI, that would provide financial support for interventions/surgeries of children belonging to deserving families and born with CHD. As most of the received donations are Zakat, we sought help from religious experts to develop guidelines and procedures to fulfil requirements and monitor the process on a regular basis. Understanding the need for capacity building & training to overcome the disease burden, Project Danial was started in the memory of Muhammad Danial Tanveer who passed away from CHD in 2014.

Our Story

How It All Began

Every year 60,000 children are born in Pakistan with holes in their hearts along with other heart diseases, a majority of whom die due to lack of facilities.

A family in Pakistan faced a similar situation when their two-and-a-half year old daughter died because of lack of timely diagnosis.
This is the story of a family whose young daughter fainted one day while playing. The girl was immediately taken to the Children’s Hospital, Lahore where doctors diagnosed her with a cardiac condition requiring urgent surgery. The girl’s father, Farhan Ahmed, a businessperson in the field of information technology had the financial resources at his disposal to get the best possible treatment for his daughter…

Immediately, all the arrangements were made and the surgery was conducted at a private hospital but was not successful. A team of well-known doctors suggested a second surgery but before the surgery could start, the girl passed away.
Farhan transformed his sorrow into strength and set out on a mission to build a hospital to help marginalised children suffering from cardiac diseases. According to him, there are approximately 60,000 children in Pakistan suffering from congenital heart defects but only 2,500 patients are treated at the government’s expense. The surgeries can cost up to Rs500,000 at private hospitals.
Farhan set up the Pakistan’s Children Heart Foundation (PCHF) with the aim to provide financial support for the treatment of children with congenital heart defects who were born in less privileged families. He also aimed to raise awareness about the condition and build a state-of-the-art hospital to treat the condition.
To build this hospital, Ernst and Young estimated $12 million for the project.
If 100,000 Pakistanis donate Rs1,000 per month for a year the target can be achieved. As a result, the nation will not just be able to cure children of this disease but also can bring a smile to their parents’ faces.
