IMANA Medical Relief started regular missions to Swat Valley, Pakistan in 2019 to provide free healthcare services to the rural community who are navigating through a challenging health care system that is scarcely resourced. Our volunteers travel to a CDRS operated Mother and Child Clinic in Rahat Kot, Swat and have successfully provided medical care to 20,261 patients till December 2023.

IMANA funds 4 of Al-Mustafa Trust’s health centers in Chaklala, Orangi, Sillanwali, and Umerkot, which have provided free treatment to 362,247 patients since its launch in 2019. In this drought-affected area, where locals suffer from extreme poverty and lack basic health facilities, IMANA has also funded two ambulances, enabling emergency patient evacuation, and a mobile clinic with dispensary services. We also funded the establishment of a specialized dental center for the thalassemia patients in Karachi.

IMANA entered into an ongoing collaborative program with an ophthalmology clinic in 2017, and during 2018 we also made a grant to procure new operating microscope and other equipment. Till December 2023, a total of 311,385 eye exams were conducted and the program has benefited 24,774 patients with free cataract surgeries and 7,631 minor procedures among the poor, rural people of Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Azad Kashmir.

IMR has remained engaged in medical relief activities in Pakistan since the devastating 2005 earthquake, when we treated tens of thousands of injured and sick people in over 4 months of work there. Since then IMR has adopted villages & schools in affected areas, helped renovate & open a maternity hospital in Quetta, set up a thalassemia center in Rajanpur, established and operated relief camps for Swat IDPs, provided medicines and held medical camps for Waziristan IDPs, conducted 41 medical and 5 free eye camps for 2014 flood affected people, funded and operated a fully equipped mobile dispensary in rural areas of southern Punjab, provided supplies and specialized equipment to different medical facilities and opened basic health units in multiple locations.

In 2016/2017 period, IMR donated $15,000 to provide hearing aids to needy hearing impaired patients in Muzaffarabad, contributed $10,500 to purchase specialized transfusion chairs for a blood disorders treatment center in Karachi and procured & distributed $35,000 worth of winterized tents & blankets among the people displaced by the earthquake in Chitral region.

During August 2017 IMANA sponsored a dental mission comprising dentists & students from Howard University, Washington DC, which provided free dental care to over 2000 people in the villages around Islamabad including 600 children at an orphanage.

In August 2022, IMANA provided food aid to 6,000 individuals & families in difficult to reach areas, procured lifesaving medications and supplies worth over $1.6 million to aid local hospitals and clinics, and deployed multiple rapid response teams to aid in medical camps that treated 18,555 patients across all four provinces.
