Riphah Social Welfare
Introduction
Pakistan is a developing country with poor health infrastructure and academic isolation in the higher education sector. Poverty and marginalization are the outcomes of the vicious capitalistic structures, hegemonic by the cartels, infiltrating the ruling mania.
IIMCT is a private sector initiative to contribute towards the betterment of the situation in its humble capacity and meager resources. RSWD is at the forefront of this endeavor with thousands of beneficiaries and millions of funds and in-kind support to the poor and needy. Moreover, student scholarships, hospital upgrades, and patient subsidies (full/partial) are some other contributions in this context. The futuristic focus will be to meet the obligations of IIMCT towards the neighboring communities in the vicinity of its Institutions.
