The answers to All of Your questions.
How do you ensure that my Zakat is used properly?
We are one of the few not-for-profit charities in Pakistan. All of our funding collected under the umbrella of Zakat is used directly towards the treatment of these deserving children. We are Pakistan Centre of Philanthropy (PCP) certified, and all our processes are Shariah-compliant.
Why should I give my money to Pakistan Children’s Heart Foundation (PCHF)?
Why should I donate for CHD and not for some other healthcare problem?
CHILDREN BORN WITH CHD HAVE AN EQUAL RIGHT TO LIVE IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE, RELIGION, FINANCIAL BACKGROUND. EVERY YEAR APPROXIMATELY 60,000 CHILDREN ARE BORN WITH CHD IN PAKISTAN.
Half of these kids require some sort of medical/surgical treatment to treat their heart defect. A large number of these kids require immediate medical/surgical treatment within the first year of their life.
There is a huge lack of CHD related trained healthcare professionals in Pakistan. Approx. 9 trained pediatric cardiac surgeons and 25 trained pediatric cardiologists in the whole country.
What impact is my donation making?
our donation is saving lives and restoring the hope of recovery in children and parents who have had the odds stacked against them since they were born. With your help, we can continue supporting people and their families in the fight against CHD.
These children are the future of Pakistan. You are not just treating these children, but also investing in the future of Pakistan.What is Project CHHRI?
Why is a separate dedicated CHD Hospital required?
How much does it cost to treat one CHD patient?
What are the future goals of PCHF?
We want to further strengthen our understanding of CHD in Pakistan, and the approach needed to tackle this issue on a national level. We want to build partnerships with the government, putting health policies in place which can help us with the early diagnosis of CHD affected children, and to identify at-risk families.
Screening camps in conjunction with the government or other primary care hospitals in remote and less-accessible areas where access to quality health care is non-existent. We want to start working at the grassroots level, screening for potential patients and educating families about the risk factors of CHD.
Establishing PCHF’s Research Department with the aim of collecting and analysing relevant data so that we may be able to understand the intricacies of CHD better, allowing us to provide better quality treatment to our patients.
