Lahore:
With the support of donors from the British Pakistani community, Al Mustafa Pakistan successfully held a Free Eye Camp at Government College University (GCU), Lahore, one of South Asia’s most prestigious educational institutions. The initiative provided vital eye care services to students, faculty, and university staff.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Managing Director of Al Mustafa Pakistan, Ms. Nusrat Saleem, University Registrar Dr. Shaukat Ali, MS Al Mustafa Eye Hospital Dr. Khalid bin Aslam, Dr. Naeem Anwar Naumani, Muhammad Nawaz Kharral, and Ali Raza Kazmi, President of the University’s Al-Falah Society.
During the camp, a large number of students, faculty members, security personnel, and other staff received consultations, screenings, and corrective care. The event highlighted the growing role of overseas donors, particularly from the United Kingdom, in supporting sustainable healthcare initiatives in Pakistan.
Ms. Nusrat Saleem emphasised the importance of combining professional medical services with humanitarian outreach. “Through initiatives like this, we ensure that quality healthcare reaches everyone — from students in leading universities to underserved communities — thanks to the generosity of international supporters,” she said.
The camp exemplifies how diaspora-funded initiatives can create lasting impact, improving access to preventive healthcare while fostering community well-being and empowerment across Pakistan.
