Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital

It was a classic case of going bad to worse. Our colleague Cheryl Diolata Afghani, US Citizen working in DGS Inc. Pakistan got very sick. Her diagnosis required long-term and specialized nursing care which could not be possible without her family. In absence of the family which resided in US, her colleagues from DGS never gave up on Cheryl. They worked constantly with US Embassy, head office of DGS and the doctors involved in her care to make the Medical Evacuation possible. Various options including chartered flight were considered but the condition of Cheryl was deteriorating. Then we came across Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital’s Medical Evacuation Team which changed the game plan. They shifted Cheryl into their Intensive Care Unit and started building her up. In 10 days she was rehabilitated enough to undertake the air journey. On 9th of May, 2016 what seemed difficult, was made possible!

The Medevac team finally gave us a green signal and Cheryl was evacuated via commercial flight from Pakistan along with the medical escorts to the United States.

Cheryl is now recovering from her illness and reunited with her family. The job was professionally and compassionately handled by the MedEvac Team of Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital.

My father Muhammad Khan had lived in Oman for 30 years. He suffered a car accident resulting in severe head injury. He remained under treatment in the Intensive Care of Sultan Qaboos Hospital in Salalah, Sultanate of Oman. But due to lack of Neurosurgical facility there was immediate need of Medical Evacuation with ventilator and oxygen support. Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital’s Medevac team was given the task to safely evacuate the patient from Oman. The critical care doctor and nurse took good care of my father and brought him back to Lahore, Pakistan. Later brain operation was planned for my father.

I am thankful to the great team of Doctor and Nurse who made this possible.

I am a housewife; I was shot by Dacoits during a house Robbery. The bullet damaged my liver, kidney and intestines. The Blood was all over on the bedroom floor. I was taken to Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital’s Emergency. The Emergency Team packed my wounds and shifted me to the Operating theatre. The massive blood loss had to be compensated. My family members gave 2 Blood bags. But the damage was extensive. My family turned to the Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital’s Blood Bank for help. They provided 6 bags of Blood and called in 2 fresh blood donors. After 10 blood transfusions and 6 hours of surgery Doctors were able to save me. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Blood Bank and the Emergency team. Today I am alive and Allah has blessed me with a new Life. I am enjoying the time with grand children because of timely service and efforts of Doctors.

I am a retired School Teacher, A Road Accident changed my life when my Leg (femur) was fractured with muscle injuries. I was taken to Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital Emergency Department by nearby shop keepers. I was unconscious. My family was contacted by Emergency Department of Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital. The Orthopedic Specialist came and attended me in no time. But the due to the Blood loss my surgery was not possible without arranging blood. Since my family resides outside Lahore it was difficult for them to reach in time. Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital’s Blood Bank comforted my wife and daughter and provided blood from their Blood Bank in no time. The blood bags were cross matched and properly checked to be free from any disease. I am grateful to the Team of Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital for saving my life. I found their service safe, reliable and upto the mark. Its been 9 months since my surgery. I am able to walk and life is back to normal.

Khalida Perveen age 42, mother of 3 children, sewwas diagnosed with Ovarian Tumor. It was a complicated High Risk surgery. The Surgical team told me about potential blood loss. My blood Type was O-VE. Being a rear Blood type initially seemed like a challenge. But this Rear Blood Group was conveniently provided through Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital’s Blood Bank. It’s been 3 years since my operation and I have been fine. I am thankful to the Doctors, Blood Bank and Hamida Ashiq Trust Hospital for taking care when I needed it the most.
