Background

Child Care International's direct and singular aim is to help impoverished children. While the charity helps children i other parts of the world to the UK, it has an administrative department in the UK which ensures that the maximum amount of donations/contributions go to where it is needed most - to the children. As well as funding educational projects, vocational training and the building of fresh water wells in impoverished communities, it also runs medical operations to help poor children receive medicine and financial support to pay for crucial medical operations.

Our Involvement

In 1998, Mohammad Jawad was part of a team led by surgeon Fazal Fateh in Lahore, Pakistan, assisting in over 20 procedures to repair the cleft palates of affected children. Some time after, he was also involved in a similar project for Child Care International, this time independently performing over 30 cleft palate cases as a Plastic Surgeon alongside Michael Cadier in Larkana, Pakistan.

Background

In October 2005, an earthquake measuring a massive 7.6 on the Richter Scale struck the Kashmir region of Pakistan, taking approximately 75,000 lives and devastating the landscape of affected areas. The disaster inflicted appalling casualties on the region’s population, with buildings collapsing on office workers, school children, men and women. Roads, water and electricity supplies were all severely damaged, making aid efforts particularly difficult and producing hazardous conditions for relief workers to work within.

Our Involvement

Along with colleagues from DOGANE, MIST and BAPRAS, Mr Mohammad Jawad flew to Pakistan to lead a team in offering combined surgical expertise to victims of the disaster. They carried out a spectrum of reconstructive procedures, ranging from simple treatments through to the most complex Limb Salvaging procedures on 25 patients a day for 7 weeks.

Al-Shifa Pharmaceuticals offered the team a unique opportunity to bring their expertise under one roof to provide a comprehensive, 80-bed one-stop trauma unit to deal with both simple and complex bony & soft tissue injuries. This became a primary and tertiary unit for complex Reconstructive Limb Salvaging, with the support of a selfless and motivated team of Ophthalmic-trained staff members.
