After decades of successful philanthropic work, CEO Zamurrad Khan of Pakistan Sweet Home has taken on a new responsibility by overseeing the Fatima Tuz Zahra Medical Complex. This hospital aims to revolutionize healthcare by providing all medical services free of charge to those in need. More than just a healthcare facility, this initiative serves as a vital resource, ensuring equitable access to quality medical care for every individual, regardless of financial constraints.

Fatima Tuz Zahra Hospital is located in the heart of Rawalpindi, near the busy Abdullah City Housing Society. It covers 5 Kanal and promises to bring hope to the community. It has access from three sides and connects to Range Road. With 100 nearby villages, it will serve a large number of people.

This Hospital road connects the M2 to Islamabad and Rawalpindi and has many houses and farms nearby. In the future, a new road will link the National Highway to the airport, moving the university campus, Ranger's headquarters, and many new neighborhoods here.

The area of Chakri Road, which includes 11 Union Councils, has no such hospital for patients. This is the only hospital with free facilities in the region. Many health units and district health councils exist, but a full-fledged hospital has been a distant dream for the locals. 

 

The Alpial Welfare Trust has played a crucial role in constructing the hospital building. In December 2023, Zamurrad Khan's noble wish was fulfilled, and management and operations were handed over to him. He has signed an MOU with the Alpial Welfare Trust, and all operations at this hospital will be run under his supervision.

 

"Back in 2019, I dreamt of opening a hospital for those in need when I saw that government hospitals lacked proper medical facilities and private ones were too expensive. I wasn't sure how or when it would happen. Now, I want my angels and fairies studying medicine to complete their degrees and serve the community here in this hospital. I also urge all my dear donors to support this initiative."

Commissioner Rawalpindi, Abdul Aamer Khattak, was invited to the laboratory's inauguration ceremony at Fatima Tuz Zahra Hospital. During his visit, he engaged with the medical technologists, Doctors, and supporting staff, asking detailed questions about their procedures and operations. Impressed by their expertise and dedication, he appreciated their efforts and commitment to providing 24/7 availability for the patients.

"This hospital project is truly impressive. Every room is thoughtfully designed, featuring ventilated beds, state-of-the-art medical equipment, and comprehensive security with CCTV cameras. The pre-labor and labor rooms ensure the utmost safety and comfort for mothers. I am inspired by this initiative and will encourage everyone to take advantage of these outstanding services. I appreciate Mr. Khan's noble efforts and will always stand by him."

  • MRI Services: Offering magnetic resonance imaging for detailed medical scans

In conclusion, Fatima Tuz Zahra Hospital stands not only as a symbol of compassion and dedication but as a beacon of hope for the community of Rawalpindi. With its humble beginnings and ambitious goals, the hospital strives to address the critical healthcare needs of the region, offering 24/7 and free services to those who need it most. 

As it continues to expand its services and reach, Fatima Tuz Zahra Hospital embodies the spirit of empathy, resilience, and community that defines its mission — to heal, comfort, and serve.
