Essential Healthcare for Underserved Communities
Waduha’s health work began before the organization formally existed.
In 2016, Zuha Rashid Chaudhary began responding to urgent health needs in urban slums and low-income communities arranging blood for critical patients, connecting families with doctors, and guiding them through hospital systems they did not know how to navigate. What started as individual acts of service quickly revealed a deeper gap: access to healthcare was not the issue alone access to direction, trust, and timely support was.
As these efforts grew, so did a network of volunteers, donors, and medical professionals. This grassroots response became the foundation of what would later formalize into Waduha Welfare Organization transforming informal help into structured, accountable health programs reaching thousands of people across Pakistan.
Blood Arrangement Network
Waduha’s health journey began with blood and this network remains one of its most critical interventions. Through a trusted volunteer-led system, Waduha connects patients in urgent need with verified blood donors, often within hours. This support has helped save lives during surgeries, childbirth emergencies, accidents, and chronic illness cases.
The network operates across major hospitals and underserved communities, particularly in Lahore and surrounding urban areas. By relying on voluntary, non-remunerated donors, Waduha ensures safe, ethical blood access for patients who would otherwise face dangerous delays.
Medical Camps & Healthcare
To reach families who cannot afford or access hospitals, Waduha organizes free medical camps in urban slums, low-income neighborhoods, and disaster-affected areas. These camps provide general checkups, medicines, diagnostic support, and referrals for further treatment when required.
Conducted in collaboration with doctors, paramedics, and volunteers, these camps have supported thousands of individuals offering early detection, relief from untreated conditions, and guidance through Pakistan’s complex healthcare system.
Women’s Health & Hygiene
Recognizing that women’s health is often neglected, Waduha runs focused initiatives addressing hygiene and basic healthcare education. Through the distribution of hygiene kits and awareness sessions, the organization supports adolescent girls and women in schools, vocational centers, and underserved communities.
These efforts help reduce health risks, break social stigma, and empower women with knowledge and dignity particularly in areas where access to healthcare and hygiene resources remains limited.
Disaster Health Response
During floods, heatwaves, corona and other emergencies, Waduha mobilizes rapid-response health support to prevent outbreaks and manage urgent medical needs. This includes emergency medical camps, medicine distribution, and coordination with local health professionals in affected regions.
These interventions play a critical role in controlling waterborne diseases, infections, and untreated injuries during crises often when healthcare systems are overwhelmed or inaccessible.
