Ijaz Ahmad and Ch. Sajjad Haider’s Family. However as with any other project, specially a charitable one, generous contribution from the philanthropists and institutions through their CSRs and grants would be required to complete the project of this scale. CHEF-I and the sponsors would be striving to fill the gap for making state-of-the-art hospital a reality by making appeals for donations/contributions to philanthropists and institutions both at the local and international level. Contribution from CSRs of financial institutions and funds from the business and industrial enterprises would be particularly welcome.
