Pakistan Heart Foundation
The Pakistan Heart Foundation (PHF 1974)[1] which originated from the Muhammadi Hospital (MH 1970) and merged with the International Medical Research Centre (IMRC 1988), provides non-profit cardiac care through the MH and coordinates training for medics and paramedics, mobile health programs, clinical research and publications through the IMRC.
Management
Non-invasive cardiac diagnostic service and medical management is provided to patients from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (NWFP), FATA and Afghanistan. Preventive community based activities include the School Health Program (SHP) and Man, Mountain and Medicine (MMM).
Cardiac care
Over the last 35 years, outreach projects have built a database of cardiac patients: Afghanistan has one of the world's largest backlogs of operable pediatric cardiac cases.
Location
In order to enhance its humanitarian services, the PHF is planning a charitable cardiac center on 1.2 acres of land, along with the existing block of buildings of the MH-IMRC. This project is located on the main boulevard of the new town of Hayatabad, outside the main City of Peshawar, next to the Jamrud Town, on the way to the Pak-Afghan border.
Training
The teaching multi-media resource (free downloads and online publications) is in use for professional training programs, with a willingness to actively associate with other communities and welfare organizations across the world.
