WSPC organises fundraiser

The friends of the Welfare Society for Patient Care (WSPC) organised a fundraiser featuring some comedy on stage written up by Imran Aslam and performed by his team of artists.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday, 100 percent of the proceeds raised will go towards benefiting the WSPC, which is dedicated to the treatment of less privileged people with kidney ailments.
The event, held at the Mohatta Palace Museum, started with prayers and an auction of original artwork by renowned artists and fashion designers.
The WSPC, based at the Clifton Kidney and Dialysis Centre, Park Lane Hospital, Karachi, houses state-of-the-art dialysis units, with indoor medical and surgical services and an emergency department that provides 24/7 cover.
The WSPC is a charitable organisation founded in October 2010 in Karachi. It has a government-registered governing board, whose members are bureaucrats and doctors.
The governing board and consultants work in honorary capacity for the WSPC. Since the establishment of the dialysis unit in February 2009, more than 400 patients suffering with kidney failure from all over the country and other charities have benefitted from its free dialysis services.
“Currently 80 patients are being treated free-of-charge by the WSPC,” it was ointed out in the statement.
In order to make the treatment readily available for the poor and needy patients, the WSPC nephrology unit provides free dialysis facilities.
The WSPC aspires to enhance the quality of life of kidney failure patients. It aims to do so, primarily, by providing free dialysis treatment to the underprivileged members of the society.
In addition to dialysis, it provides other treatment and facilities totally free of cost such as medicines, blood forming injection (Erythropoietin), physiotherapy, music therapy, OPD follow ups, nutritious food during dialysis, transport services as well as a 24 hour emergency cover and specialised care of critically sick patients, the WSPC said in the statement.
