Pfizer Pakistan Limited and Aman
Health Care Services signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly
conduct a disease awareness on Overactive Bladder, via Aman’s telehealth
services, through qualified healthcare professionals
(HCPs) over the phone. The signing ceremony was held at the Aman Foundation
head office in Karachi, attended by Pfizer Pakistan and Aman Health Care Teams.
One of the symptoms of OAB is
feeling the urgency to urinate and using the toilet 8 or more times in the day
or 1 or more times in the night. This partnership enables patients/general
public to call at 9123 number to seek awareness on Overactive Bladder Disease.
The partnership will also assist patients who wish to remain anonymous and are
uncomfortable discussing their issue with HCP’s face to face.
Dr. Farid Khan, Country Manager
of Pfizer Pakistan, in his message at the signing ceremony said;“We are very pleased to have partnered with Aman Health
Care Service in this innovative disease awareness initiative, to ensure that
the public has access to information through these unique tele-health services
in Pakistan.”
Arshad Saeed Husain, CEO, Aman HealthCare Services
commented, “Aman is committed to providing quality healthcare services. Our 24
hour Tele-Health service has doctors, registered nurses and counselors
available for free medical consultation. In our effort to create a health
eco-system, we are constantly working in collaboration with industry leaders
and are proud to be associated with Pfizer to create disease awareness. Aman
Tele-Health can be reached at any time for all health related queries by
dialing 9123.”
About Aman Health:
In keeping with its vision of a
vibrant, healthy Pakistan, the Aman Foundation is creating healthcare
eco-systems with outreach initiatives targeted towards essential healthcare
issues. Pakistan has one of the highest rates of maternal, prenatal and child
mortality recorded internationally. With a total of 18 million inhabitants (Karachi
contributes to approximately 10 per cent of Pakistan’s total population), 60
per cent of its inhabitants live in katchi-abadis (slums) often without proper
water or sanitation systems. Illiteracy, poverty and lack of social security
systems further compounds poor access to healthcare for the most vulnerable in
the city.
