Mobilink Partners with WHO to Restore Flood Hit Health Units is a post from: ProPakistani

President and CEO Mobilink Rashid Khan with Dr. Guido Sabatinelli World Health Organization Representative in Pakistan exchange MoUs to install the prefabricates as basic health units in the flood affected districts of Pakistan.

World Health Organization is playing a major role in the response to the flood emergency providing medicines, deploying health staff and restoring primary health care.

The destruction of many Basic Health Units (BHU) and medical centres has severely affected the level of health care available for people. Many people that were displaced during the floods are now returning back to their place of origin to find only devastation.

"Now we have to deal with two different types of responses. While in some districts of Sindh flood continues to spread and people are still being displaced, in Punjab and in the North of the country the situation has started to improve and support is needed for rehabilitating damaged healthcare facilities" said Dr. Guido Sabatinelli- World Health Organization Representative in Pakistan.

A recent survey showed that 514 health Facilities were damaged or destroyed in the flood affected districts of Pakistan.

Mobilink has generously offered through WHO to restore the health services in the affected districts of Pakistan by providing 244 high quality prefabricates which are easy to assemble and ready to use as BHU. These prefabricated sheets will be made into more than 100 BHUs nationwide.

Speaking at the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Mobilink and WHO, President and CEO of Mobilink, Rashid Khan said; "No crisis is too big if we stand united and form meaningful synergies. Our partnership with WHO, to whom we are grateful, is a testament of Mobilink's commitment to reach out to millions still awaiting a helping hand. We have contributed more than Rs. 236 million towards flood relief and our employees and associates continue to volunteer their time, energy and expertise in the relief process to reshape live son ground."

"World Health Organization is grateful for the contribution by Mobilink and will work closely with the provincial Governments to identify the locations where to install these prefabricates. WHO will also provide furniture and equipment to transform these infrastructures into Basic Health Units and Medical Centers while the Ministry of Health will ensure medical staff to make these BHU fully functional,"said Dr Sabatinelli in the signing ceremony of MoU.
