After Neki di Dukaan, Neki di Gaddi, Ek Noor Sewa Kendra, an NGO working for the underprivileged is coming up with ‘Neki da Hospital’ for providing affordable healthcare and medical facilities to the underprivileged and free of cost to the destitute who cannot pay.

Working for providing free medical and health care to many needy and underprivileged patients visiting Civil Hospital, who cannot afford treatment, the NGO becomes a conduit between the donors and patients.

The NGO puts the social media to its perfect use as they post the medical requirements of patients at Civil Hospital in the social media groups, and residents, altruists and philanthropists, even if they cannot pay the whole amount, just pitch in to help the patients. Even the milk ‘sewa’ is also done for the patients and their relatives.

They are also working for providing food through a unique initiative to patients of many hospitals. They started a ‘Neki di Gaddi’ also for making free food available to the patients admitted to hospitals and their relatives. They collect food from the residential areas and a couple of schools where the residents of localities pitch in to prepare meals.

The NGO had started a Neki di Dukaan where people donate old clothes, and the underprivileged buy these for a nominal amount. It also takes care of the elderly at an old age home.

“Honest work being done by the organisation has been appreciated by society at large. The much-needed affordable medical facilities of Neki da Hospital being set up at Alamgir Road can be used to help the destitute and the underprivileged, a vast majority of whom still don’t have access to affordable or free healthcare,” said Barjinder Singh, from Ek Noor Sewa Kendra. “In service of the humanity lies the true essence of life. Because everyone has that ‘noor’ of the ‘Ek’ Almighty, pervading everywhere and in all of us,” he added.
