The clinic plan
Our first aim is to support regular primary care sessions at an existing licensed dispensary in Lahore. The venue, budget and start date are still to be agreed.
Beginning with an existing dispensary
Agree the service
Check the host’s licence, clinical staffing, dispensing arrangements and ability to keep records. Agree the session budget, included medicines and referral arrangements in writing.
Review before expanding
Compare invoices, medicine records and anonymised session totals. Ask patients whether they received the care described and whether unexpected costs remained.
Programme scope
What the project would pay for
The proposed budget covers clinician time for agreed sessions and the cost of listed medicines supplied against a prescription. Hospital admission, specialist treatment and tests would need separate arrangements.
Read the detailed planA dedicated dispensary in the future
If sessions demonstrate sustained need and reliable funding, we would explore a dedicated dispensary. That decision would require its own premises assessment, approvals, staffing plan and running budget. The immediate proposal is to work through an existing provider.
How a funded session would be checked
- Before a payment
- The project would agree the purpose, service dates, clinical cover and permitted costs with the host. A named contact would be responsible for explaining discrepancies.
- After the session
- The host would report visits completed, medicines supplied and shortages. The project would compare these figures with the session invoice and purchase records.
- If something changes
- Repeated shortages, unplanned fees or cancelled sessions would trigger a discussion with the host before further sessions are agreed.
Keeping the medicine list workable
The host would propose a list that fits the clinical needs it expects to see. The project would ask how often each item is available, where it is sourced and how the dispensary records supply.
If a covered item runs short, the host would explain the next step to the patient and record the shortage for review. That record would help guide the next order.
