Islamabad: January 24, 2009 – Ufone, one of the leading telecom companies of Pakistan, has entered into a contract with Federal Government Services Hospital commonly known as Polyclinic here at Islamabad to mark the beginning of a major nationwide project aimed at improving child healthcare services. In the pilot phase the children OPD area of Polyclinic, the children’s ward and the NICU waiting area will be covered. Once this is done, other hospitals, country wide, will be further selected for the project. Ufone is not only a successful telecom operator in the industry but an organization that has always been working towards an orderly corporate responsibility plan including ways of benefiting the young of our country who will for sure be a part of tomorrow’s strong workforce. With this project, Ufone aims to revamp child health units at different hospitals around Pakistan giving young patients a much superior environment than before. Generally conditions in our local hospitals and medical centers are not given a lot of importance, especially when it comes to child health. This Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative by Ufone will not only provide better conditions but also help supervise the maintenance of these refurbished areas. From wards to intensive care units, OPD areas and emergency units all will be given an improved look and décor to let these young souls in pain forget their miseries for the time till they are treated to be well again. . At the signing ceremony, Mr. Abdul Aziz, President & CEO Ufone said, “As one of the leading telecom companies of the country we have a duty towards our nation and with this project we are just trying to give back our people the appreciation and care we have received from them in all these years. Hopefully, we will be able to reach out all those who are residing in the far flung areas of Pakistan and are deprived of first class medical health facilities. Children make a very important part of our society … they are our tomorrow and we want our tomorrow to be very strong, healthy and happy.” Ufone is an Etisalat Group Company with its presence in all the major cities of Pakistan along with a comprehensive coverage across all major towns, villages and tehsil head quarters of the country.
