Al-Wahid FOUNDATION

Patient access · Lahore

Who the sessions would serve

The proposed service is for people in the selected neighbourhood who would otherwise delay basic care because they cannot afford a consultation or prescribed medicine.

A fair way to offer places

A simple route in

We propose allowing people to approach the host directly. Local community referrals could also help reach people who rarely attend a clinic.

A private conversation

Staff would explain the criteria and ask privately about difficulty paying for care. Access should be open regardless of faith, gender or a personal connection to the project.

When demand exceeds places

The host would explain capacity and offer the next available session where appropriate. Clinical staff would direct urgent needs to suitable local services.

Questions about access

Can I book a visit now?

The project is in planning. We will publish the neighbourhood, opening arrangements and contact route once they are confirmed.

Would every medicine be free?

The proposal covers clinically indicated items on an agreed list. Before opening, we would publish what is covered and how the host would explain alternatives or stock shortages.

Where would sessions be held?

Lahore is the proposed city. We have yet to confirm a host dispensary or patient catchment area.

Can I send medical details by email?

Please use our email for project enquiries only. Keep symptoms, prescriptions and patient identifiers out of messages. For medical help, contact a local healthcare provider.

Road traffic in Lahore

Choosing hours people can actually use

A short distance on a map can mean two fares, a long wait or time away from paid work. We would ask residents about their actual journeys when comparing possible venues.

We would also ask whether the entrance and waiting area work for older people, people with limited mobility and visitors accompanied by a carer. The eventual access notice should describe the facilities people will find on arrival.
