Medical Assistance
Shah Sultana Memorial Welfare Organisation provides medical assistance to deserving patients who are unable to afford essential healthcare services, medical consultations, diagnostic tests and necessary treatment.
Illness can place a serious financial burden on low-income families. The cost of doctor visits, laboratory tests, medicines and hospital treatment may prevent patients from receiving timely care. Through our Medical Assistance programme, we aim to help eligible patients according to their medical needs and the availability of resources.
Helping Patients Access Essential Healthcare

Our programme connects deserving patients with donors, healthcare professionals, hospitals, laboratories and other supporters who can help them receive necessary medical care.
