Shrifan Clinic, located in Lahore, Pakistan, started its operations in 1977. Shrifan Clinic provides free medical help to the poor people in the area. The clinic specifically serves the medical needs of women and children but no one is refused service. Patients are examined for common diseases such as typhoid, malaria, dysentery and pneumonia. For several years, the clinic has provided an immuniza
tion program for children. Recently we have added a new service providing care to patients with skin infections - a serious problem in the region. In 2019, Shrifan Clinic partnered with Rukhsana Foundation Multi-Specialty Clinic to further expand the free of charge health care services provided to our patients. The clinic is manned by four specialist doctors including a Gynecologist, Pediatrician, General Physician and Dermatologist, along with trained and experienced para medical staff which is comprised of a Dispenser, Lab Technician and Nurse. The clinic also provides the facility for E.C.G, Gyne Ultrasound and has a medical lab where basic blood tests are performed. Our most urgent need is to provide eye exam services and we are working to acquire equipment for these examinations but are in need of funds. Many students need eye glasses as they have difficulty reading the blackboard, which then impacts their learning and academic success. In the future, the Clinic aims to supply free eye glasses for the schoolchildren who cannot afford to pay for them. Operations are conducted by a team of dedicated volunteers based in Seattle and Lahore, with no overhead and our fundraising is primarily conducted in the United States.
