patients and dead bodiesLanais. The social services unit was established to
deal with such cases. The first social medical officer, on the other hand, was
appointed in 1982 who was Sir. Ibrar Anjum. The social services unit is headed by
RMOResident Medical Officer.

2-Bait-ul-Mal Fund
The Baitulmal fund is also a system developed for poor patients to have a free
treatment. This fund is given by the federal Government.
The process is somewhat the same as Zakat process. The patients who
come for Baitulmal fund bring a printed pro-forma from the provincial
Baitulmal office. This pro-forma is signed by the doctor of the concerned ward.
The doctor also writes the expenditure of the treatment+ the type of medicine, or
device + its market price.
Social welfare unit is the next place for the form. Here in the office, the form is
signed by
MS
Senior Social Medical Officer

The form then moves on to the pharmacist in the pharmacy department


for verification of price + dosage + quantity. The form is taken to the
regional Baitulmal office for the next step. The regional Baitulmal office
in NWFP has its own procedure, according to which they deal with it.
The Baitulmal office sends the form to Islamabad. A cheque of national
bank is issued by the name of the doctor and patient. The cheque goes to the
Almoner of the hospital. The almoner is the person f r o m t he

Services of the Social welfare Office


Social welfare office provides many services to the patients of lady
Reading Hospital Peshawar such as,
UNCLAIMED (LAWARIS) CASES
How to deal with unclaimed patients?
Before going into the details the first question is how the LAWARIS
patient reached to the hospital? It is simple that most of the road and traffic
accidentRTA- cases are unclaimed. When an unclaimed patient is brought
to the A & E department in LRH, the DMS of the department writes a
CALL letter to the social welfare unit of the hospital. In the letter he
mentions that we have an unclaimed patient and he needs such and such
medicines, food, and clothing. The social welfare unit sends a social guide to the
patient. The social guide takes care of the patients food, medicine, and
clothing. The guide also provides social support to the patient.
The expenditures of food and clothing are met by the welfare fund
while the medication expenditure is met through Zakat fund.
When the patient becomes conscious he is then transported to his area.
The transportation expenditures are also met by the social welfare unit.
How to dispose off an unclaimed died body?
W h e n a p a t i e n t d i es i n ca s u a l ty d e p a r t m en t , t he d e p u ty m e di ca l
s u per i nt en d e nt o f th e department writes a CALL letter to the social
welfare unit. The social welfare unit (SWU) takes the photo of the dead
body and publishes it in the news paper. Mostly the daily Mashriq and AAJ
provide free advertisement of the unclaimed dead bodies. The Social

Work Unit calculates all the expenditures on the dead body e.g. food,
medicine, clothing, picture, and transportation.
I f t he ex a c t a d dr e s s i s k no w n th r o ug h s o m e s o ur c e t h e n t h e bo dy
i s t r a ns po r te d to t ha t address. If just the district is known then the
Police Station of the district is informed. But when there is no address and
no source for finding the area of the dead person then the social welfare unit
has only one option. The body is transported to the Khyber Medical
College
Where they keep the body safe for 10 days or may be a few days more.
After that time if no one claims for the dead body, then the
students of the medical college are free to make th eir experiments and
practices on the dead body.

1. Provides Medicines
The social welfare office provide many kind of medicines to the needy patients
who are admitted of come for OPD, such patients among them are HIV, Heart
patients, Chest Patients, Hearing aid patients, Eye patients and such patients who
are suffering from Cancer.

2. Blood Donations
Fresh blood is very important for the patients health, so volunteers come for
donation of blood for the needy patients, and some volunteers registered their
self with the social welfare office for the emergency need of blood, and the social
welfare office also arrange seminars and awareness programs for blood donations
in the educational institutions like, Schools, Colleges and Universities of the City.

My Observations in the Hospital


My observations are based on two points,
(1) Beneficial points
(2) Problematic points

Beneficial points
The Big achievement of the Hospital is to get the eyes cornea for
registered patients of the Hospital from Sri Lanka.
Another beneficial point is the computerized registration of the patients
for the OPDs in this way the patients gets easy access to Doctors and
save their precious time.
Social welfare department arranges Bloods donations for sick, poor and
needy patients.
There are many sources for poor and needy patients to get medicines
under social welfare department such as, Zakat fund, Bait-ul-mal fund,
Hospital sources and some donations sources.
Different companies are also help the poor and needy patients of the
hospital by giving there medicines samples.
Prime Minister Fund is also using for the poor and needy patients in the
Hospital.

Problematic Points
The big problem in the Hospital which I observe is the lack of
separate counter for the disabled and for elderly people. So due to
this the senior citizens and disabled people are facing a lot of
problems, there should be a separate counter for disabled and senior
citizens so they can easily get access to Doctors room.
Another problematic point is the lack of motivation for blood
donations, some time the relatives of the patients are hesitated to
give blood to his relative. So there should be a psychotherapist to
deal such causes in the Hospital.
There is no social welfare teams for motivation of the patients who
are getting operations, some patients are start weeping and crying
when they are given the lesson to operation. So there should be a
social welfare team to convince the patients in the time of operation.
Another problematic point of the Hospital is the lack of social welfare
guides in the Hospital, there should be four guides in the each ward
of the Hospital to search out the problems.
There are also lack of social guides in the hospital due to the patients
are not getting easy access in the Hospital areas, so the social welfare
guides scheme should be improved.
The Most unfavorable thing in the OPD come in my Observation is
the use of the public Toilets on Contract; due to this the Poor public
and the patients are suffering a lot.

General Informations about Social Welfare


Provincial Council of Social Welfare for Khyberpukhtoonkhwa

The Provincial Social Welfare Council (PSWC) was constituted through an


executive order in the year 1974. It has been re-activated and re-constituted in
order to work in accordance with its specified powers and functions. The Council
in the past could not properly function due to non provision of funds by the
National Council of Social Welfare as well as by the Provincial PE&D Department
and Finance departments. Re-constitution of the Council will go a long way in
coordinating and promoting the Social Welfare services.

Objectives of the Ministry


To formulate and implement plans and policies for promotion of Social Welfare
activities
To co-ordinate the assistance extended to Social Welfare agencies by various
departments of government.
To promote Social Welfare activities.

Suggestions
1. The fund of Zakat is a fixed sum of 82, lacks which is coming from
decades so I suggest to the provincial Government to increase the
fund according to the population growth, so in which more poor
people can get benefit from it.
2. Present Baitulmal procedure is quite very long and difficult it is my
suggestion that there should be an office of Baitulmal like Zakat Cell,
in which the poor and serious Heat patients can easily reach there
and can get accurate treatment in time.
3. In the OPD the computer system should be improved for the
easiness of the patients.
4. The procedure of Zakat system is quite difficult for the people
because most of the public is illiterate so it should make easy and
compatible for the poor and illiterate public of KPK.
5. The toilets of OPD in LRH are being operating by a private contractor
and the sanitation system is quite miserable so its my strong
suggestion to the Government officials to take the toilets from the
contractor and properly repair them and give them for free public
use.
6. The Social Welfare office arranges awareness camps for the donation
of blood so the poor patients can easily get the donated blood.
7. Its my state to the federal Government and to the Ministry of Social
Welfare to allocate such an enough amount for the Welfare of the
poor patients.
