"Misbah does not support youngsters" sounds like an awkward statement now.

Excellent gesture by the great man!

Who knows, 22 years down the line...:misbah3:pmik
 
I think he is doing this for the good and that alone. Misbah knows his limits.
 
Well done misbah. I think it will be better if he opens up a wing in an existing hospital.

An already running organization is the rigid to changes. IK said it in his speech that they're trying to improve KPK's hospitals and it is very hard to do so.

IMO it is better if Misbah starts something from scratch.

The doctors, staff, stakeholders etc. would have a clear access to a brand new vision and would know what they're getting in @DrBasim [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION]

Admirable from Misbah and kudos to him for reinvesting his gains of playing the game back into the country that allowed him to flourish.

My thought exactly... around the world most hospitals cater to all needs and aren't exactly specialized. I would have preferred had Misbah opted to extend an existing hospital, but the state of public health in Pakistan is so bad that even if someone volunteers to open up a clinic they should get a tamgha..

KARACHI: Patients’ Welfare Society of the Agha Khan University Hospital (AKUH) and the Pakistan Children Heart Foundation (PCHF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), according to which both organisations will cooperate to provide low-cost and quality treatment to children with inborn heart diseases.

The MoU was signed at a ceremony held at AKUH on Sunday, which was attended by Paediatric Cardiology Consultant and Agha Khan Children’s Hospital Service Line Chief Dr Babar Hasan, Paediatric Surgeon Dr Asim Khan, PCHF Board member Farhan Ahmed, AKUH Patients’ Welfare Society head SM Pervaiz, Senior Adviser Nadeem Mustafa Khan, PCHF members Hasan Bukhari, Mujtaba Bhatti, National Cricket Team former captain Misbah ul Haq, former cricketer Saeed Anwer, and other paediatric doctors and surgeons.
Across province: 276 screening camps for special children
Dr Babar Hasan, while addressing the ceremony, said that 50% of the children suffering from heart diseases are from one of these four countries – Pakistan, India, China and Indonesia. “Our attention is on every child in Pakistan who is suffering from any type of heart disease,” he said.

“This is a major problem of the country, for which specialised hospitals and doctors are needed,” said Dr Hasan. “The objective is to provide low-cost quality treatment to those people who cannot afford it,” he explained, adding that the number of patients suffering such conditions will increase with the population.

PCHF Board member Farhan Ahmed said, “life is too short and time is limited.” He pledged that the PCHF and AKUH’s Patient Welfare Society would work together to ensure that every child gets medical treatment, in line with international standards.

According to Ahmed, patients from across the country, especially in areas where treatment options are limited, will be brought to the AKUH for treatment. “Besides, we want to introduce a screening system for the diagnosis of diseases before birth,” he said.

Laughter is the best medicine

Former captain of the national cricket team, Misbah ul Haq, expressed gratitude toward the AKUH and PCHF for making him part of the noble cause, adding that they would ensure the programme is a success.

According to Haq, the treatment for heart diseases is so expensive that parents often only worry about the expenses and can’t seem to avail many options for medical interventions. “Together, we will ensure that no child suffering from heart diseases goes untreated,” he said.

LAHORE: The foundation stone of Pakistan’s first hospital dedicated to congenital heart defects (CHD) among children has been laid in Lahore on Saturday, ARY News reported.
