Dear Jennifer,
Sehat First (www.sehatfirst.com) is a unique social enterprise set up
to provide access to basic health care & pharmaceutical services
across Pakistan through self-sustainable franchised telehealth
centers. The enterprise was founded in 2008 with an equity investment
from the Acumen Fund (www.acumenfund.org).
The company aims to set up 500 Sehat First Health Centers across
Pakistan by 2012 and has already established 5 self sustaining pilot
centers in its first year which have to date, served over 4000
patients.
We would like to partner with Unite for Sight to set up eye
clinics/camps at our locations to help provide eyecare to these
underserved communities. I'd appreciate it if you could forward our
mail to the correct person there.
In addition we are also looking for volunteers (regardless of
location) to help us in the following areas:
1. Website upgradation
2. Case Study Write Ups
3. Technology Research
Your help is much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Shahida Saleem
Founder, Chairperson
Sehat First
