Pakistan Programme
Healthcare Access Pakistan
Keeping hospital doors open for families who cannot afford care.
In underserved parts of Pakistan, hospitals struggle to stay operational. Limited funding means medicine shortages, overstretched staff and families turned away because they cannot pay. The Amir Khan Foundation supports essential running costs, medicines and treatment so that care reaches the people who need it most.

Why this programme matters
For millions of families in Pakistan, healthcare is a cost they cannot carry. More than half of all health spending comes out of families' own pockets, and most of that goes on medicines. When a child falls ill, parents in the poorest districts face a choice no parent should face: pay for treatment, or pay for food.
The hospitals that serve these communities run under constant strain. Funding gaps mean medicine shortages, overworked staff and equipment that cannot be repaired or replaced. When resources run out, treatable illnesses become preventable deaths.
The Amir Khan Foundation supports healthcare access in underserved districts of Pakistan by helping to sustain hospital operations: essential medicines and supplies, support for staffing and running costs, and subsidised treatment for families who cannot afford care.
This programme sits alongside our wider work in Pakistan, from mobile food banks to clean water, and connects to the health pillar of the Champion Centre, our long-term community hub planned for Rawalpindi. The aim is the same throughout: practical support, delivered with dignity, that strengthens communities for the long term.
