LUNGAR PROGRAMME IN HOSPITALS

 

Introduction

 

As provided in PBM Act 1991(Amended)-Chapter-II, Clause-3(4), Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal is working for provision of assistance to needy persons, either in the shape of amount or kind. Most of the patients and their attendants, who come from far flung areas for treatment in Hospitals, belong to poor families. These helpless attendants are in need of basic necessities like food etc. PBM Management has, therefore, decided to launch “Lungar Project” for the poor attendants of patients in 200 designated Hospitals throughout the country (at least one in a District).
