Program Highlights

The objectives of the MOVE DMC are:
• To provide good-quality healthcare services at affordable prices to low-income families.
• To concentrate on encouraging a culture of preventive healthcare and early diagnosis and treatment by setting up free medical camps and satellite Collection Centres in under-privileged communities, which will bring healthcare services to the doorstep of the poor.
• To reduce unemployment by providing jobs to trained doctors, lab technicians, nurses, and others over time.
• To focus on a clearly under-served area, i.e. providing medical services to under-privileged communities at affordable prices.
The DMC opened its doors to patients on January 16, 2008.
• At 4pm, on that day, our first patient, Ms Pathani Bibi, arrived for a sugar test. We received only two patients on that day.
• On November 11, 2008, Mr Ghulam Badar, became our 5000th patient.

The DMC is located on a 4,800 sq.yards plot in North Nazimabad, Karachi. This piece of land and associated buildings have been made available by Anjuman-e-Ahbab Society at no cost to MOVE.
