FAISALABAD: A charity hospital offering free treatment to the poor may soon open in the city.

According to the FCCI handout, Tariq Azam, executive director of Indus Hospital, visited the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Friday and discussed the setting up of an Indus hospital in the city with President Arif Ehsan Malik.

Vice President Muhammad Yasin, former president Rana Muhammad Sikandar Azam Khan, Shahid Majeed, Muhammad Mughees Khokhar and other members were also present.

Mr Malik welcomed Mr Azam and said the Faisalabad business community always took a generous part in charity work, but fundraisers from the city preferred setting up hospitals in other cities.

He added that the chamber was ready to extend every possible cooperation for a charity hospital in Faisalabad.

Mr Malik said Dr Abdul Bari Khan, founder of Indus Hospital, would visit Faisalabad very soon and the final decision on setting up the hospital here would be taken during that visit.

The chamber would complete its homework before his arrival so the next meeting could be productive.

Mr Azam said Indus was a general hospital with a network of hospitals across the country, where the poor received free treatment with the help of philanthropists.

Asked about cancer care, he said a hospital dedicated to cancer could not be set up, but the Faisalabad hospital could have a special cancer ward.

The final decision will be taken during Dr Abdul Bari Khan’s visit to Faisalabad.
