MIDLAND DOCTOR’S MEDICAL INSTITUTE (MDMI)

Midland Doctors Medical Institute (Muzaffarabad, Northern Pakistan) is a state of the Art health care facility built in Northern Pakistan to provide quality health care to vulnerable population in the outskirts of Muzaffarabad. MDMI covers about 70 miles radius of villages. This region was significantly impacted by the earthquake in 2005. The building of the hospital was initially a dream that came true through the dedication of the MDMI team and Canadian Global Care Society. The vision was to provide exceptional healthcare to communities that could not afford standard health care.

Solar Panel For MDMI (Generous Donation of Hemani Family)

The purpose of the donation of the solar panel: the acquisition and installation of a 150 KW Solar Hybrid Energy Generating System enabling MDMI to reduce dependence on the unreliable electrical power supply in the region and reduce the use of emergency diesel generators to a more reliable and environmentally friendly, Green Energy Generation System. This will allow MDMI to function more efficiently, without power interruptions and save tens of thousands of dollars a year in operating costs.

Canadian Global Care is proud to support the Solar Panel Installation at Midland Doctors Medical Institute (MDMI). This has been made possible by the generous donation of the HEMANI family. The Solar panel will support the electricity requirements of MDMI for the next 23 years.

Philanthropist Hemani family, of West Vancouver (British Columbia) Canada have agreed to donate Canadian $ 200,000.00 towards the realization of this Project. This will be facilitated through CGC, and a valid Charitable Donation Receipt will be issued to Mr. Hemani upon receipt of funds for the calendar year 2020. The funding will be forwarded to CGC upon execution of this MOU by the Parties and the execution of the Contract between Zeal Engineering Services and Midlands Hospital Services Ltd. dated October 13th, 2020. – See more here

Training & Education of The Staff During Covid – 19 Pandemic

Doctors, nurses and paramedical staff were provided training with emphasis on Donning and Doffing of PPE & Hand hygiene. Mask mandate has been implemented. All these departments are functional at the moment. Nutritional Program has resumed and surgeries are being performed with PCR testing for Covid 19 prior to the surgery. Changes are being adopted in the hospital to ensure the maximum amount of safety. Some projects have being postponed due to Covid 19 but MDMI is trying to minimize delay in treatment using all possible resources. With the generosity of our donors we have been able to raise significant funds to establish the Pediatric, Ophthalmology and Outpatient departments.

Our Journey

We started by supporting the Midland Doctors in their dream of building an earthquake proof hospital.

Our first step in this direction was to organize a fundraiser in Calgary. This led to similar events in Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto.

We visit the site regularly and carefully scrutinize the project to completion.
