Medical Assistance
To date, Hidaya has arranged over 9,200 examinations and/or treatments for hundreds of poor patients in need.
Severe economic circumstances result in less attention to personal hygiene in the family, creating various medical problems among the members. Problems are often ignored and can develop severe, long-term health related issues. Furthermore, school going children in impoverished areas catch various diseases, but treatment is often neglected.
Because it is difficult to support each and every medical case, Hidaya has given priority to patients with contagious diseases to protect their families and the community at large from spread of disease. Patients are provided with access to doctors, lab tests, medicines and follow-up visits. Additionally poor patients in the localities where Hidaya operates who are suffering from other ailments and illnesses are helped, including patients who need surgeries.
Hospital Assistance
Charitable hospitals, whether run by governments or private sectors, are usually in poor condition and cannot keep up with the growing demand of patients. Hidaya receives new and used medical equipment and supplies as well as medicines from our partner organization in USA, via the Container Shipment for In-Kind Donations project. Items are given to hospitals and clinics enabling them to provide better service to the poor.
Before giving equipment to hospitals, Hidaya requires the hospital administration to sign a contract agreeing that the equipment being donated:
- Will be used to treat the poor and in need
- Will remain as the property of Hidaya
- Will not be removed from the hospital premises without Hidaya’s permission
Hidaya also provides cash to hospitals for treating patients.
