Introduction of JFL
Journey
for life is an organization registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860.
It is a non-government organization working for the Prosperity of humanity at
large. Journey For Life was founded in 2012 with the purpose to promote Education (specially in remote areas), Youth Activities, Human Rights Awareness (specially women rights and child rights), Mother & Child Health Awareness, Disability, HIV (Aids) and Basic Health
Issues in the communities. Its purpose is to initiate activities and
programs in order to proceed towards problem solving in various communities.
Introduction of the area
The Village Chawala
is situated 25 KM away from Tehsil Pindigheb in the East. Its population
consists of almost 60 houses. Being far and because of lack of conveyance, education
and medical facilities, this area is too much backward. The dwellers of this
area have to go to other areas in case of emergency. Road is totally absent
from the scene, and because of unavailability of transport, the patents usually
die especially during the maternity. The ratio of deaths of babies and mothers
during birth is very high. Along with it educational facilities are also not
available here. The villagers usually do not get their daughters educated
because of non existence of the schools. As a result illiteracy is common to
the area.
JFL Pakistan held a free medical camp on 15 December,
2013 in Village Chawala. Free
Medical checkup and medicines were provided to the women and the children. JFL
arranged free medicines out of its own budget and also arranged the team of
doctors for this camp. For which it has to undergo a lot of difficulties
because of backwardness of the area and the disappearance of infrastructure of
the roads. As we needed lady doctors for this camp, we took the service of Dr
Wajeeha Ahmed and Dr Bushra Ansari for
this purpose and it was very pleasing to us when both the doctors consented to
provide free volunteer service for the medical camp. A lot of advertisement for
this medical camp was carried out in the area. Announcements were made in the
mosques of the area, the broachers and panaflex were also used in this area.
The expenses of the medical camp were as

The camp was very successful. A total of 54 Patients were
registered in the medical camp, free treatment and free medicines were given to
them. Detail of the patients listed in medical camp is mentioned below:-
Challenges
Many challenges were faced during the medical camp,
however the team overcame most of these ensuring the success of the camp.
·
Many Organizations were approached prior to
the camp requesting their support but no one supported.
·
The tables for the camp were not available in
the village, we used small bench for this camp.
·
We had limited private room, so we put
medicines in open air.
Recommendations
·
Due to camp success, the villagers requested
another camp be organized in next year 2014.
·
More medical specialists need to include in
next camp including surgery.
·
Advance team members should be onsite 24
hours before the event to ensure to ensure all local logistic needs are
completely set up prior to commencing patient care.
·
The challenges experienced in this camp
should be reviewed and solutions identified prior to next year’s event.
Conclusion
The camp was well organized despite some miscalculations.
All patients who arrived at the camp were evaluated and treated while a few
were referred. The organizing committee for this camp extended appreciation and
sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in this camp.
At the end, credit goes to the villagers belonging to Chawala, team of doctors and the team
of JFL Pakistan for the successful holding of this medical camp. We strongly
desire that this process of serving humanity should continue on the same
pedestrians and in the poverty-ridden areas of the country which are lacking in
medical facilities, chain of hospitals should be established to provide health
facilities to the people at their door step. I hope that JFL would struggle hard to carry
on this process of serving humanity. Those who wish to cooperate with JFL for
this purpose and stand by us in the service of humanity and eradication of poverty
are welcome. The land needs good deeds and we can make a mark of progress only
by the welfare of our country fellows.
