RELIEF AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
Health Awareness Programs and health education
workshops were conducted to educate people
regarding personal and community hygiene issues
and health issues related to camps.
Medical kits-from MRA-Malaysia
PIMA established regular DISASTER
MANAGEMENT cell at central level, and
extended it at provisional and local levels, to meet
the urgent needs of any future disaster. This cell
prepared written Standards of Operation (SOPS)
and guidelines to manage a disaster of any scale,
both nationally and internationally, and also
provided opportunity for training and
preparedness drills for disaster management
teams.
Al-Khidmat Foundation-Pakistan, with a
distinguished record of relief achievements,
played leading roles during this disaster. More
than 470 medical camps and 630 physicians,
treated 2,75 million people, and 24,000 relief
volunteers saved around 97,000 human lives.
Drs. Tanveer Zubairi, FIMA general secretary and
Hafeez Ur Rahman, chairman-FIMA SAVE
VISION Program, were assigned the tasks of
organization and integration of international flood
relief efforts.
Through this collaboration, FIMA member IMAs
and sister relief NGOs from various parts of the
world, waged campaigns to support relief efforts,
and were instrumental in conducting a major,
productive Islamic international cooperation with
impressive outcomes.
Water purification and distribution
PIMA also augmented the facilities already
existing in the areas by making them functional, if
they were not, and by providing lifesaving drugs
to these health facilities, like District Headquarter
hospitals, Tehsil Headquarter Hospitals and Rural
health centers. Donated injectable antibiotics were
dispensed to these centers along with water
dispensers and equipments for very basic needs.
PIMA also provided clean water in the camps and
carried out several campaigns for prevention of
communicable diseases.
