Emergency Response: Standing with Pakistan in Times of Crisis

Medical Aid to Pakistan is proud to work with CDRS who provide emergency relief and mobile medical teams in times of disaster. When the D.G.Khan region of Pakistan was hit with devastating floods Medical Aid to Pakistan sent immediate support to aid the flood relief work. From their donation CDRS were able to provide 2,000 water bottles, 50 tents and enough clothes, flour and bedding for a further 50 people.

Organizations like the Rural Development Organization, The Leghari Foundation, The Imran Khan Foundation, The Gurmani Trust, U.K Association of Medical Aid Pakistan and the Bali Trust came forward to help the people of this region in the form of providing them with food, clothing, tents, bedding and other household items. 15 000 people are still displaced. In addition to delivering immediate supplies other CDRS projects we have recently supported include:
