IntroductionAli Akbar (AA) Dispensary was started at Village Lehran (Chak 68J.B. on Faisalabad City-Ghulam Mohammadabad-Aminpur Bungalow near Narwala Addah) about 15-20kilometers in the outskirts (rural area) of Faisalabad around the early nineties andcontinued to function as such till 2009. In June 2010, the family of (Late) Chaudhary AliAkbar Khan undertook major renovation, refurbishment and upgrade of AA Dispensaryand converted it into Ali Akbar (AA) Medical Centre to cater for the medical needs of thepoor, needy, deprived and the underprivileged classes. It was placed under the auspicesof the newly launched Ali Akbar Khan Foundation (AAKF).

AAKF was established in late 2010 to operate in Faisalabad (and in times to come inother parts of the country as well, gradually spreading in all provinces of Pakistan) asnNon-governmental and non-profit organization to cater for the medical care, povertyalleviation and social needs of the poor, needy, deprived and underprivileged classes

of Faisalabad and in times to come in the entire country. It was registered inIslamabad with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) on 04February 2011, and the Certificate of Incorporation was awarded to AAKF by SECP on 14March 2011.

The old building (AA Dispensary) was renovated, upgraded and refurbished and inabout three months period AA Medical Centre was up and running again. Renovation,upgrade and refurbishment included construction of additional rooms, securityguardroom, verandah, additional washrooms and improving the environs to providespace for the consultants, dispensary, pharmacy, laboratory, storage facilities, electro-medical equipment (most of it is still under procurement). AA Medical Centre has onedoctor, one lady doctor, nursing staff, security staff and administrative staff. Overall incharge of AA Medical Centre is a retired army officer of the rank of major withdesignation of Administrator .

Presently AA Medical Centre is an outdoor medical care facility only that operates sixdays a week. There is no provision for indoor medical treatment (such as hospital wards,operation theatre for cases of major surgery etc). However, it is possible to undertakeand handle minor surgery cases, where patients do not need hospitalization. All

treatment is totally free of cost, which includes laboratory tests and medicines for threedays at one time. However, all patients are charged Rs. 10.00 (US $0.12) as fee for theinitial medical reference chit so that they have a feel that they are paying for theirtreatment and are also contributing towards a noble and humanitarian cause.
