AHFDB-FREE MEDICINE CENTER
AHFDB-MAYO HOSPITAL, LAHORE

There is a large number of patients daily visiting Mayo Hospital who cannot afford to purchase expensive medicines, therefore, it was decided to establish a Free Drug Bank at OPD to help the neediest and deserving patients. Since this noble idea was conceived by Dr. Zaheer-ul-Hassan Mir, Deputy Medical Superintendent, Outpatients Department (OPD), Mayo Hospital, Lahore, during his visit at the tomb of “Hazrat Ali Usman Hajvery (RA), hence it has been given the name after the name of the most famous saint of the subcontinent.

The journey of Ali Hajvery Free Drug Bank began on 5th March 2012, when Dr. Zaheer-ul-Hassan Mir, together with his dedicated colleagues, established the first Free Drug Bank at the Outpatients Department (OPD) of Mayo Hospital, Lahore.
The purpose of this noble initiative was to provide free-of-cost medicines to the most deserving and needy patients visiting the OPD of Mayo Hospital, Lahore. The main vision behind this effort was to obey the divine command of Almighty Allah by serving His creation and bringing comfort, relief, and hope to ailing humanity.
With the same mission, commitment, and objectives, the second major milestone was achieved on 12th December 2015, when another branch of Ali Hajvery Free Drug Bank was established at Lahore General Hospital, Lahore.
Since its beginning, Ali Hajvery Free Drug Bank has continued its mission of serving deserving patients with dignity, compassion, and sincerity, while reducing the financial burden of medical treatment on those who cannot afford it.
