Al Shifa Trust, Making A Difference In Millions Of Lives

How so?

Over the years, Al Shifa Eye Trust has been reaching out and helping on the social front through their various donation campaigns. These campaigns have helped to raise funds for the trust, which in turn have allowed them to provide eye care services to those who cannot afford them. The trust has also been able to provide free eye surgeries to those in need; thanks to the generous donations from individuals and organizations.

Founded in 1985 by the late Lt. Gen Jehandad Khan, Al-Shifa Trust stands as a non-governmental, non-political charitable organization. Gen. Jehandad Khan embarked on this endeavor with personal dedication, contributing all his savings to become the inaugural major donor. His unwavering commitment and collaborative efforts played a pivotal role in elevating the organization into a significant entity.

Despite humble beginnings, he envisioned and meticulously planned for various developmental phases. These efforts materialized with the establishment of four modern eye care hospitals in Rawalpindi, Sukkur, Kohat, and Muzaffarabad. A fifth hospital in Chakwal reached completion in 2021.
