Rana Town, Sub Lahore
A dispensary at the heart of the Al-Kitab community

Our story in this community
Why Rana Town needs this dispensary
In Rana Town, Sub Lahore, many families live one illness away from crisis. A fever in a child, diabetes in an elderly parent, or a wound that will not heal — and the only options are expensive private clinics or long journeys to city hospitals that working families simply cannot afford.
Helpline Welfare Trust already walks alongside this community through Al-Kitab and other programs. A permanent dispensary here is the natural next step: a door that stays open, a doctor who listens, and medicine given freely to those who would otherwise go without.
What your support makes possible every month
Each month, PKR 230,000 covers the essentials that keep care running — medicines on the shelf, doctors present for checkups, a dispenser who prepares prescriptions with care, conveyance for staff and supplies, and an aya or nurse trainee who watches over patients with dignity.
Beyond medicine, patient welfare matters deeply. Families who arrive tired, thirsty, or anxious deserve a clean place to sit, safe water to drink, and the basic comfort of a bed and washroom while they wait for care. Security and electricity keep the facility safe and operational — because healthcare cannot stop when the lights go out.
Tele-medicine: bringing specialists closer
Not every village can host a specialist — but every patient deserves specialist advice. Tele-medicine connects Rana Town to doctors who can review cases online, guide treatment, and reduce the need for costly travel to Lahore.
This unit requires a dedicated tele-medicine doctor and a laptop or computer setup. Your support helps bridge the distance between a worried parent in Rana Town and a qualified physician who can help — without the family spending what they do not have on transport.
