Appeal for CBC Machine Support
District Shigar, Gilgit-Baltistan
Background:
The backward and remote areas of District Shigar are in dire need of strengthening their healthcare
facilities. The entire local population — more than 45,000 people — is dependent on a single
healthcare center, which serves as the only lifeline for medical services in the region.
Currently, the hospital operates 24/7 and provides essential healthcare and emergency services despite
extremely limited resources. The existing medical setup includes:
MBBS Doctor (Medical Officer)
Lady Health Visitor (LHV)
Junior Medical Technicians (JMTs)
Ambulance
Ultrasound Machine
ECG Machine
Oxygen Machine
Patient Beds
Small Pharmacy.
This small yet dedicated team is serving thousands of patients every month, often handling emergencies,
maternal cases, and general illnesses that otherwise would remain untreated due to the remoteness of the
region.
Current Need:
To improve diagnostic capacity and timely treatment, the hospital urgently requires one CBC
(Complete Blood Count) Machine.
At present, patients needing a CBC test must travel 6 to 7 hours to reach Skardu for laboratory testing.
This delay causes immense hardship, especially for emergency, elderly, and child patients, and often
results in treatment delays and preventable complications.
The estimated cost of a CBC machine is PKR 250,000 to750,000/-
Appeal:
We earnestly request your kind support to help us procure this essential CBC Machine for the
hospital in District Shigar.
You may kindly donate the required amount (PKR 250,000) to the Al-Bayan Foundation for
the purchase of the machine, or provide the CBC machine itself as an in-kind contribution.
