The idea to establish Children Health & Education Foundation was conceived by its Founder Syed Naeem ul Hassan in 1990. This idea became a reality in 2003 after he gained vast experience by rendering his services to “LRBT” and “Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital”.
The primary aim of CHAEF is to provide Education and Primary healthcare services to under privileged people at their doorstep. CHAEF not only provides free treatment of the common diseases but also diagnosis deadly diseases at a very early stage before they become critical.
Children Health & Education Foundation (CHAEF) was registered in August 2002 as an NGO and started its operation in September 2003. The objective of the foundation was based on the premise that large specialized hospitals are to built at reasonable cost to detect, manage,prevent and treat end stage diseases. Convinced with this idea, we developed a vision of establishing these much needed Primary Health Care Centers all over Pakistan so as to Provide Free Consultation, Diagnoses, Treatment and the Medications for common ailments which if left undetected or untreated at the initial stages can lead to Kidney failure, Terminal Cancer, Blindness, Heart Disease etc.
Children Health & Education Foundation with the support of well wishers, the Vision has now become a reality. We are diagnosing, treating and medicating more than 8500 diseases daily of the patients visiting all our 44 established mobile healthcare centres where 142 health and education activities are conducted. The healthcare activities include free consultations and tests that include Ultrasound Facility Mother & Child Healthcare and quality medications (to date in a short span of 6 years a total number of over 7.2 Million diseases of patients have been treated with Medications). The schools are laying special emphasis on Computer training and English Language Skills besides providing basic education to all the residents of these deprived areas mostly Katchi Abadis. (This statement is upto May 2010)
A support infrastructure has been developed to ensure logistic support, to maintain quality standards as well as to ensure appropriate use of funds. The staff strength has been kept to the minimal i.e 110 members of staff managing and operating 142 activities in all over Pakistan.
Presently we have the following PATRONS (sponsors) and ADVISERS.
