Aman Foundation is poised to scale up its operation in the coming year as a result of new initiatives and strategic partnerships such as an ambulance service with Sindh Government. This process has already been initiated through an agreement signed recently between Aman Healthcare Services (AHCS), a wing of Aman Foundation and the Patients Aid Foundation (PAF) as the partner to arrange funds from Sindh government till June 2019. During that period, Aman ambulances will continue to be fully operated by AHCS with its 60 lifesaving ambulances, human capital and operations.
Later, the new organization, under the proposed name of Sindh Emergency Medical Services, will be managing and scaling emergency care in Karachi via expansion of the current fleet to 200 and the rest of Sindh in an incremental manner under a public private partnership framework in collaboration with the Aman Foundation.
Aman Tech, the other not-for-profit operating entity under the Aman umbrella, with an impeccable track record of pioneering work in the field of vocational training and technical skills capacity-building, will also see strategic partnerships with key stakeholders in both public and private sector realizing in 2019 that will enable existing programmes to continue to thrive and grow further and create opportunities at the provincial and national level.
Aman Foundation CEO Mujahid Khan said that while Aman Health and Aman Tech are on their way to exponentially enhance the scale of their operations through said partnerships in line with their founding vision.
Aman Foundation itself, leveraging on its established track record as a catalyst for social change, will focus on providing thought-leadership and advocacy and it will dedicate itself to producing strategies for long-term and sustainable growth in the socio-economic development sector, provide technical and management expertise, monitoring and oversight, and even funding, as is possible, he said.
Khan said AmanTech and Aman Health brought about a paradigm shift in the health and education sectors. Almost 12,000 young men and women have been trained in employable skills with roughly 70% of them being placed into meaningful jobs. Over 1 million lives have been saved on the streets of Karachi and rural Sindh through life saving ambulances.
