Relief Efforts for Buner & Swat Refugees

UM Healthcare Trust in collaboration with NUST, APPNA and other stake holders has begun a massive healthcare relief effort for refugees streaming in from Buner and Swat.

Currently, we are treating atleast 60 patients a day who are refugees. This number is rising as more IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) cross into Mardan District.

We are also distributing free medicines and extending free healthcare advise and diagnosis to all the IDPs. Our medical staff is making rounds in the area to treat patients on site if they are unable to visit our medical facility in village Zahidabad, which is 4 km from the town of Rustum in NWFP, Pakistan.

There is a dire need medicines and volunteers (doctors, nurses, medical professionals) to keep the service quality at a high level.

Please donate generously to the cause (http://www.umtrust.org/donate).
