Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance and Revenue, Senator Saleem Mandviwalla, on Monday handed over a substantial donation of medical and surgical supplies, patient beds, and other essential equipment to the management of Jinnah Hospital, Karachi, in collaboration with PEI, here on Monday.
Addressing the ceremony, Senator Mandviwalla said the education and health sectors continue to face serious challenges. He stated that he had adopted 50 schools for transformation and improved functionality, adding that the initiative is currently underway and nearing completion.
Mr. Mandviwalla further shared that he had recently visited Lyari Hospital, where services were functioning effectively and patients expressed satisfaction with the facilities being provided.
He emphasized that the public needs support and assistance, and it is the responsibility of authorities to ensure the provision of essential services. He termed the initiative a poverty alleviation effort and said it had proven to be a significant step toward strengthening healthcare delivery, adding that similar efforts would also be extended to Balochistan.
Senator Mandviwalla noted that donations should align with institutional needs and be utilized effectively for the greater public good. He stressed that the initiative reflects public service rather than political interests.
He further stated that collective efforts are necessary for national progress, urging people to contribute toward improvement instead of solely criticizing institutions. He added that constructive criticism is always welcomed, but unfair criticism and discrimination should be discouraged.
Responding to a query, the Chairman said a complete list of donated equipment had been provided and its utilization would be monitored to ensure transparency and accountability. He added that hospitals remain responsible for administrative operations and compliance.
The Director of PEI also shared his views, stating that the initiative was timely and essential, and should continue to promote public welfare, particularly in underserved and vulnerable areas.
