The Patients’ Behbud Society for The Aga Khan University Hospital
The Patients’ Behbud Society (PBS) for The Aga Khan University Hospital is an independent, charitable society responsible for collecting and disbursing zakat, in order to help mustehiq patients receive world-class-quality healthcare at The Aga Khan University Hospital.
PBS assists the most underprivileged members of society, without any discrimination or compromise on the quality of care. The PBS Board Members serve in a voluntary capacity to support this cause.
As a legal entity, the Patients' Behbud Society gets regularly audited and adheres to a meticulous process of identifying the most deserving patients who are eligible for Zakat according to the rules of Shariah.
All Zakat donations are used for the sole treatment of the patients, with no amount allocated to administrative or other expenses. All disbursement of Zakat funds is through a transparent process and audited accounts are publically available. This ensures that disbursements of Zakat funds are done in a manner that allows the donors to fulfil their religious responsibilities in the highest manner.
Through this Zakat fund, men, women and children are provided primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare. PBS liaises directly with each service speciality, to ensure that the Hospital's cutting-edge research and technology are accessible to the most vulnerable patients, particularly those with life-threatening illnesses.
PBS-for-AKUH is run by volunteers and assists the most underprivileged members of society, without any discrimination or compromise on the quality of care. Our generous donors include individuals, corporates, and the PBS-for-AKUH committee members who voluntarily support these humanitarian efforts.
