Paramedics & Nursing Teaching Center
During 2023, Malik Amanat Ali, a prominent businessman from Bristol, visited KIRF’s healthcare facilities and was impressed by the organisation’s commitment to providing free kidney dialysis services to patients in need. Inspired by KIRF’s mission, Malik Amanat Ali decided to support the organisation and, in collaboration with Mr. Abdul Raoof Malak Qureshi, organised a fundraising dinner in Bristol, UK, which successfully raised Rs. 10,000,000 for the construction of the first-floor building of the kidney dialysis centre.
The KIRF management utilised these funds to initiate the construction of the Paramedics and Nursing Teaching Centre, awarding the contract to Kataria Engineering. This centre will serve as a vital resource for training paramedics and nurses, addressing the healthcare workforce needs in rural communities.
Malik Amanat Ali and Mr. Abdul Raoof Malak Qureshi are continuing their fundraising efforts for the project, and the completion of the building is now in its final stage.
