Govt Commits Full Support to Bait-ul-Mal’s Healthcare Mission

The keyword Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal came into focus again as the federal government pledged to extend full backing to the organization’s efforts to help underprivileged patients battling cancer and rare diseases. Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry reaffirmed the government’s resolve to supply all necessary resources to support these humanitarian initiatives.

Helping the Most Vulnerable

Speaking at a joint event hosted by Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal and Roche Pakistan in Islamabad on July 29, 2025, Dr. Chaudhry appreciated the organization’s role in serving the country’s most vulnerable citizens. He praised its commitment to providing medical and financial assistance to patients who often face life-threatening conditions without adequate support.

He stated, “Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal is playing a vital role in helping people across all provinces, including Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. These services are a lifeline for many who have no access to proper treatment.”

Cancer Patients Receive Much-Needed Relief

Cancer, especially in its advanced stages, is expensive to treat. The minister acknowledged that Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal has filled a major gap by offering help where it is needed most. Through partnerships with pharmaceutical firms like Roche Pakistan, the organization delivers high-cost medicines and treatments to patients who would otherwise be left out of the healthcare system.

Dr. Chaudhry emphasized that such efforts save lives and improve the overall health landscape of Pakistan.

Government Pledges Stronger Support

The minister assured the public that the government will continue to strengthen the Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal. He confirmed that all available resources would be mobilized to ensure that its humanitarian work continues without interruption.

“The government stands with Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal,” he said. “We will not let financial constraints stop its work. These patients deserve the best we can offer.”

This statement underscores a growing political consensus around the need for inclusive healthcare solutions in Pakistan, especially for those living with serious medical conditions.

Focus on Awareness and Prevention

Alongside treatment, the minister urged all organizations—public and private—to work together on disease prevention. He stressed the importance of spreading awareness about early detection and healthy living.

He noted that Pakistan still suffers from delayed diagnosis in many cases, particularly in cancer. Without timely medical intervention, survival rates drop significantly. He called on stakeholders to invest in public education campaigns, health screenings, and community outreach programs.

“Prevention is better than cure,” Dr. Chaudhry remarked. “We must teach our people how to take care of their health before it’s too late.”

Expanding Outreach Nationwide

The event highlighted the growing geographical reach of Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal, which now serves communities across the entire country. From remote areas in Balochistan to far-flung towns in Gilgit-Baltistan, the organization has expanded its operations to include those often excluded from healthcare services.

This outreach includes mobile health units, partnerships with local clinics, and rapid-response medical aid for emergencies. Dr. Chaudhry stressed the need to strengthen these networks to make sure help reaches everyone in need.

Public-Private Partnerships Making an Impact

The collaboration between Roche Pakistan and Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal offers a model of how private companies can align with public institutions for meaningful impact. Through their joint initiative, many patients now have access to life-saving drugs at little or no cost.

This model is gaining traction across Pakistan, especially in the healthcare sector, where partnerships are essential for filling service gaps. The government aims to encourage more such collaborations to amplify the reach of national welfare programs.

A Call to Collective Action

As the session closed, the minister reminded all stakeholders—government departments, private firms, NGOs, and citizens—that building a healthier Pakistan requires a collective effort. He praised the dedication of Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal staff and volunteers and called for more public engagement in supporting their cause.

“This is not just the responsibility of one organization,” he said. “It’s a duty we all share. Together, we can save lives, offer hope, and build a stronger future for our people.
