In June 2024, I had the honor of visiting the A G Khan Foundation site in our village of Barazai, Pakistan. This was the first time in 25 years that I was returning to Pakistan, and this time with my husband and our two children. My husband and I are both medical and behavioral healthcare providers, so this visit was of particular interest to us both personally and professionally. I wasn’t prepared for just how emotional this trip would be for me, and how impactful. I told my father, “I feel like I’m coming home!”

On 9/11/22, the A G Khan Memorial Hospital (AGKMH) hosted a free medical camp, from 4-10 pm. Several medical specialists from regional hospitals and private practices collaborated and volunteered their time to provide free treatment and medication to patients.

In effort to provide timely relief for flood victims, A G Khan Foundation (AGKF) supported donation efforts (collected 1.3 million PKR) and partnered with Barazai Welfare Society (BWS).

What began as an idea for a modest clinic in Barazai, Pakistan, became the village’s first hospital facility serving the village and surrounding Chach area.
