About Zakat Fund
Thalassemia patients need a life-long monthly blood transfusions and expensive medications to survive. Most of the patients at our hospital are poor and cannot afford sufficient treatment and thereby, becomes chronically ill. We collect zakat to support these patients with life-saving treatments.
Every year, during the Holy Ramadan, we appeal to the affluent people in society to donate their zakat to our poor patients. People donated generously and our zakat collection has grown considerably over the years with which we are supporting more and more patients.
The fund is governed by a zakat management committee consisting of representatives from patients, guardians, doctors, nurses, and a religious scholar. You can read our zakat distribution policy in the link below.
