One to Another is working on a large project funded by Singapore Red Cross. Victoria Memorial Hospital (VMH) is a 752.5 square meter health facility in the area of Hameedtown on the outskirts of Multan. It is situated in a poor neighborhood with little access to health care. This will be a women’s and children’s clinic and a hospice /palliative care unit. The VMH has an outpatient clinic, labor ward, general ward, ultrasound room, minor surgery, pharmacy, classroom, and hospice ward.
Until now, no such facility exists in this area of Multan. This project has enormous possibilities for community outreach, job potential, and increased available healthcare.
In June 2022, Pakistan endured severe monsoon weather since mid-June, with rainfall equivalent to 2.8 times its national 30-year average, causing widespread flooding and landslides and inducing displacement, especially in Balochistan and Sindh provinces.
Over 218,000 houses were destroyed and a further 452,000 damaged, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). Livelihoods were heavily impacted. More than 793,900 livestock, a critical source of sustenance and livelihoods for many families, died, of which nearly 63% in Balochistan and 25% in Punjab. Around two million acres of crops and orchards were impacted, including at least 304,000 in Balochistan, 178,000 in Punjab, and 1.54 million in Sindh.
With our local knowledge, past experience, and proximity to people in need, we are working to identify communities in need so that we can provide much-needed emergency relief. Victoria Memorial Hospital will visit affected areas and provide medical relief. We ask you to join in our efforts. Very little can go a long way.
