OUR  REQUIREMENTS AT THE MOMENT 
            Basically there are three projects, which have vital role. 
            
              
                - Up-gradation of Hospital  Facilities
 
                - Transport Facility
 
                - A Mobile Lithotripsy (ESWL  Therapy) Unit
 
               
             
              
            a).  UPGRADATION OF HOSPITAL FACILITIES: 
            In general, worn out hospital amenities are required  to be replaced. It should be worth-noting that abrasion of hospital furniture,  building, and utensils is more where illiterate community is in majority. That  is also true with the cost of utilities, which enhance in such circumstances.  Improvement of the operation theatre is a necessity. We provide high-class  health care despite our working in a remote area. Our research articles in  kidney ailment treatment and commentary about our work in different prestigious  magazines reflect our efforts. In such a scenario operation theatre needs to be  improved. A laparoscopy set, gastroscopy set and an anesthesia machine along  with a ventilator are the significant necessities playing vital role in minimal  invasive surgery.  
            b).  TRANSPORT FACILITY: 
            Traveling in the dependent area is quite tedious on  public transport. Regular visits to the adjoining under-developed areas as well  as to different cities where we provide health care awareness will be easier  particularly when a complete team moves along with different diagnostic and  therapeutic equipment. That vehicle will also be used for mass screening  program for detection of kidney stones.   
            c).  MOBILE LITHOTRIPSY UNIT: 
            As mentioned above in the text, ESWL (Extracorporeal  Shockwave Lithotripsy) therapy is an atraumatic way of treating the urinary  tract stones but it needs high cost machines. The patient can be spared of even  the smallest injury. Patients can be treated in the outdoors and  hospitalization is not necessary. Its new models are mobile units and those can  be moved from place to place to reduce the trouble of traveling for the patient. 
              
            HOW  TO USE THIS MACHINE? 
            The ESWL machine is fixed on a truck (This concept is being practiced in  the developed countries). The schedule of mobile unit movement will be  announced in a radius of 200 kilometers, particularly in the adjoining area of  Sindh and Baluchistan. Days will be fixed for each station at different  selected spots in different health care facilities. The patients can benefit at  their doorstep. That machine should work on a no profit-no loss basis under the  supervision of Millat Foundation, our registered charitable organization. 
              
            BENEFITS:  
            
              
                - Most of the patients in the area, suffering       from stone disease, are poor and non-affording. Nominal charges can be       implemented on the somewhat affording patients while the treatment can be       provided without cost to the actual deserving. They can also enjoy the       facility of least troublesome technology for their stone removal.
 
                - As mentioned above road conditions are not so       good that the patient can move easily from place to place in periphery.       Patients’ fatigue can be reduced if the machine is taken to different       places instead of them to travel tens or hundreds of kilometers to the       facility.
 
                - Traveling expenses for the patients as well as       the relatives will be reduced to none if the ESWL machine is transported       to their adjoining facilities.
 
                - Time saving is a major factor for the patients.       It is important to mention that in the under-developed world, a person has       to work harder to earn his even basic livings. Time saving is more       important for such persons as peasants, daily-wages hard labor class and       students particularly. In most of the cases single working person takes       care of whole of the family. 
 
                - Facility of actually non-invasive method of       removing stones is out of imagination of the inhabitants of under-developed       area of a poor country. Whenever sick and require surgery, the patients go       through gross trauma of a major surgery. Its ill effects can be avoided by       providing them the facility.
 
                - A scientific method of treatment will be       available. Patients will be saved from other odd ways of treatment.
 
                - Specimen of different stones can be collected       from different areas to research on the etiology of stone formation in       those areas.
 
                - By providing in-time and easy availability of       stone treatment facility through ESWL therapy to the needy people from the       neglected areas further complications and kidney failure can be       reduced.   
 
               
             
            For women,  due to their social restriction, the facility nearby their homes can help them  in a better way without the hassle of movement to a distant place.
