H.O.P.E.S.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://hopes.org.pk )〕 (Help of Patients in Exigency by students) is a registered, non-governmental, non political patient welfare organization run by the students of Karachi Medical and Dental College with the sole aim of helping the under privileged patients of Abbasi Shaheed Hospital〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://kmdc.edu.pk/abbassi-shaheed-hospital/ )〕 by providing them life saving drugs and other medical facilities. H.O.P.E.S. was established in 1995. Currently, the organization is running a free of cost Drug Bank, Pharmacies and a Diagnostic Lab. ==History== Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, the teaching hospital of Karachi Medical & Dental College, was in appalling need of a philanthropic organization.〔 In 1995, the first group of Karachi Medical & Dental College pondered upon the need for a welfare organization in Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where many patients died or left sparsely treated due to very high expenditure of treatment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://hopes.org.pk/?page_id=44 )〕 Thus on 25 December 1995, the first group of Karachi Medical & Dental College inaugurated a philanthropic organization by the name of H.O.P.E.S. (Help Of Patients in Exigency by Students). H.O.P.E.S. commenced its journey by establishing a free–of–cost Drug Bank in a small room in Abbasi Shaheed Hospital with very limited resources. The Drug Bank later became famous as Room No. 41. Students of Karachi Medical & Dental College spent 3–4 hours after their college in this room as volunteers. For seven years H.O.P.E.S. remained confined to this room with limited resources and funds from which it could only help 4 out of 10 patients admitted in the hospital. Volunteers collected Zakat and donations from their friends and families to ensure a dynamic budget. In 2003 a No–profit–No–loss pharmacy was established in Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where every patient of Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and even outsiders could get medicines, surgical items and other medicinal materials at the lowest price in the city.〔 After the successful experiment of Abbasi Shaheed Hospital pharmacy, H.O.P.E.S. opened two more pharmacies; one in Karachi Institute of Heart Diseases〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://kihd.edu.pk/Default.aspx )〕 and the other in Dental O.P.D.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://kmdc.edu.pk/dental-hospital/ )〕 in Karachi Medical & Dental College. H.O.P.E.S. started to move uphill step by step with the passage of time. In 2005 earthquake, the volunteers of H.O.P.E.S. stood-up for their nation and provided medical aid to the victims of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Since then H.O.P.E.S. has been working for the victims of various natural disasters throughout the nation including the flood of 2011, 2012 and the latest earthquake which hit Baluchistan in 2013. On 7 May 2015, H.O.P.E.S. successfully established its Diagnostic Laboratory near Abbasi Shaheed Hospital. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HOPES (Help Of Patients in Exigency by Students)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
