Considering the need of the patients at Dr Ruth K. M. Pfau Civil Hospital (Karachi), three passionate students of DMC decided to establish Patients’ Welfare Association, whose aim was to serve the underprivileged patients with quality care treatments. As we feel their pain, we try our level best to serve them the facilities that they are deprived of. This basic idea of an empathy driven mission to help, is translated into our motto: “We feel. We serve.”
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
"Patients are our concern, their health our priority & serving humanity, our motto."
Journey
In 1979, a group of three ordinary students studying at Dow Medical College aimed of changing lives and making a society a better place for all, thus, laid the foundations of PWA.
PWA was established to help those in need, to remove the despair and unease from the lives of those patients who are struggling with poverty. Our objective is to serve those whose voices are not heard and to uplift the lives of our patients from despair to happiness.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
