Chair's Welcome

I am delighted to introduce Developing World Healthcare.

Our enthusiastic team comprises motivated individuals who passionately give their time, skills and efforts to better human health in the developing world. Witnessing the lifesaving and improving work of this organisation we have become energised to deliver our most ambitious project yet – the first state-of-the-art JCI accredited hospital in Kashmir. This is a goal which requires urgent achievement.

I have visited some of the poorest people in this region who suffer with serious health problems. These include acute and chronic conditions, maternal complications with labour and pregnancy, children born with congenital malformations, accidental injuries, dementia, mental health problems as well as people sustaining violent attacks suffering chemical and fire burns.

I am strong believer in providing the best healthcare facilities for all, and it is this that led me to inspiring my own children to live compassionately and altruistically. Our team recognises the abundance of emergent healthcare technology and advances in healthcare infrastructures can allow us to expediently achieve our ambitions in an ethical and sustainable manner.

I humbly request you to support our efforts and consider joining us on our international healthcare expeditions which are life changing experiences.
