ABOUT  

Deen Trust International is a charity based in the United Kingdom in The City of Nottingham in the East Midlands set up by M. Ali Din in August 2005. The Trust was established to help the poor, needy and underprivileged with basic health facilities, along with tools of empowerment and independence. Within its first few years, the Trust was able to build The Moin Akhtar Memorial Hospital, a 22 bed complex providing free medical treatment.  

MISSION  

To provide free medical healthcare to those below the poverty line as well as develop projects which will help alleviate their suffering. 

A FACILITY MADE TO HEAL  

Located in Chichawatni, Punjab, Pakistan, the flagship project of the organization, is free of charge to approximately 60,000 people and provides comprehensive healthcare. It caters to a population that earns less than USD $1 per day.  

The Moin Akhtar Memorial Hospital is pioneered to save lives not just for patients going through various ailments, but also aims to address maternity requirements through its maternity ward by providing the community with state-of-the-art medical facilities, as well as improving access to health care overall.  

The hospital inaugurated its first phase – an outpatient treatment department – in 2011, with wings being added to the 10,000 sq. ft. facility. The hospital has been treating approximately 100 patients a day, providing them with free medicine and skilled consultancies. The Moin Akhtar Memorial Hospital aims to eventually be a teaching hospital that involves students with all aspects of care.
