K-Electric, under its sustainability initiative, has partnered with the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases for the provision of free-of-cost electricity for a year to its mobile chest pain facility established in Gulshan-i-Iqbal. A ceremony was held recently to formally energize the facility in the presence of KE and NICVD teams.
The NICVD has been playing a pivotal role in providing free-of-cost medical care to patients with heart disease since its inception in 1963. During the last year, it provided cardiac treatment to about 400,000 OPD patients, 37,000 in-patients and nearly 200,000 emergency cases. The NICVD mobile facility in Gulshan-e-Iqbal provides 24/7 emergency cardiac care and has so far treated over 850 patients since its inauguration last month.
According to KE spokesperson, "As a socially responsible organization, K-Electric has always been at the forefront for providing generous and valuable support to organizations working for social welfare. This is yet another testament of KE's commitment to support healthcare organizations - empowering them to continue their efforts to serve the community."-PR
