A large community of golfers and corporates joined hands to play IHHN’s 8th GFS-IHHN Golf Tournament 2023, powered by Fast Cables, on February 5, 2023, at Karachi Golf Club, supporting the Childhood Cancer Services of Indus Hospital & Health Network.
Indus Hospital’s Pediatric Oncology services, a dedicated 85-bed facility started in 2014, comprises out-patient clinics, general wards, an oncology day care unit, a dedicated emergency unit, a covered outdoor play area, psycho-social and counseling services, and a hospital-based school ‘Indus Kay Sitaray’. Indus has also started satellite pediatric oncology clinics at District Headquarter Hospital, Badin in Sindh, and Sheikh Khalifah Bin Zayd Hospital in Balochistan to facilitate patients for early diagnosis and patients on maintenance. With a dedicated team of healthcare professionals and volunteers – including students, artists and many other supporters from various walks of life, to-date more than 10,600 have benefitted from the free of cost quality treatment at the Hospital.
To improve the childhood cancer survival rate in Pakistan, IHHN collaborated with the world’s premier pediatric cancer research center – St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (SJCRH) – as one of their partners to work towards SJCRH’s global efforts to increase access to pediatric oncology services across Pakistan. IHHN also strives to play an important role to influence and develop national policies to ensure the availability of better facilities to serve children affected with cancer.
Speaking at the event, Mashhood Rizvi, Executive Director, Communications & Resource Development Directorate, thanked the golfers for supporting IHHN. He also briefed them about IHHN’s new initiative of the Corporate Ambassador Program and League of 100,000 Heroes.
The Corporate Ambassadors Program is a one-of-a-kind initiative that aims to create a sustainable source of recurring donations that is the most viable solution to uphold the Network’s mission of providing free-of-cost healthcare to all.
Presently, every month IHHN needs approximately PKR 1 billion to treat the growing number of patients across the Network. By creating a league of 100K- heroes, each of who contributes PKR 10K each month, IHHN will be able to meet this goal and uphold its mission of Healthcare for All. 100K league members will be able to serve life-saving treatment to approximately six million patients yearly.
President of Indus Hospital & Health Network, Dr. Abdul Bari Khan, delivered a vote of thanks to the participating golfers and the premium partners – GFS Builders & Developers and Fast Cables; and other corporate sponsors for making the event successful.
The annual IHHN Golf Tournament is Indus Hospital & Health Network’s flagship sports event which was started in 2016. Since then, the event has established a strong standing in the corporate sector and golfing community and is providing these groups with a remarkable opportunity to lead Pakistan’s into a healthier future. The IHHN golf tournaments are now held annually in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad.
The game was played by 124 golfers in Texas Shamble format.
