Ensuring Access To Quality Healthcare

Realizing the gap between the demand of supply of quality health care, HUBCO has established/supported several basic health units and dispensaries around its areas of operation to ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to the local communities.

At Hub, HUBCO has placed a dedicated team comprising of a Lady MBBS doctor, two Lady Health Visitors (LHVs), a dispenser, and a local driver.

The LHVs are based in three Community Health Centers in surrounding villages and a mobile van unit that covers around 28 villages in the community providing basic health facility, free consultation, and free medicines to the poor and needy patients. The population of these villages ranges from 500 to 4,000.

At Narowal, Narowal Energy Limited’s CSR team has established two basic health facilities in the village area of Poong and Arood Afghana. The facilities, along with an established dispensary, caters to the medical needs of locals from surrounding villages, and provides free medicine to approximately 7000 patients annually.
