OPD Clinic
Mother and Child HealthCare Clinic
Accessible Primary Healthcare for Marginalized Communities in Karachi
The Imkaan OPD Clinic provides essential primary healthcare in Karachi to marginalized, undocumented, and stateless communities—particularly women and children who face significant barriers to accessing reliable medical care.
Established to bridge the gap between community needs and formal healthcare systems, the clinic offers free or low-cost medical consultations, treatment for common illnesses, and basic diagnostic services. Patients requiring advanced care are referred to partner hospitals and specialists, ensuring they receive the medical attention they need without financial or logistical obstacles.
By delivering care within a safe, accessible, and culturally sensitive environment, the OPD Clinic plays a vital role in reducing preventable health complications and discouraging reliance on unqualified practitioners or unsafe self-medication practices prevalent in underserved urban settlements.
The clinic has a liaison with the town health office for vaccination of children and women in the community. A government-assigned vaccinator conducts regular vaccinations of all necessary shots that children need in their early years. Administration of polio vaccines is also conducted via the town health office. The community has never shown any resistance to vaccinating newborns and children.
Comprehensive and Preventive Community Healthcare
The clinic’s services go beyond immediate treatment it adopts a preventive and educational approach to community health. Through patient education sessions, follow-up support, and community outreach initiatives, the OPD encourages individuals to adopt healthier practices and seek timely medical attention.
By focusing on both acute and chronic health needs, Imkaan’s OPD Clinic helps prevent the escalation of minor ailments into serious conditions, particularly among children and expectant mothers. This integrated approach strengthens long-term well-being while building trust in reliable, community-based healthcare.
The OPD serves as a critical entry point to Imkaan Welfare Organization’s broader health programs, including maternal care, child health, and family planning—ensuring holistic, continuous support for the families it serves.
Since its relaunch in June 2020, the Mother & Child Healthcare Clinic has:
Empowering Communities Through Healthcare Awareness
Imkaan believes that access to healthcare is a fundamental right. By bringing affordable primary healthcare services directly to the community, the OPD Clinic empowers individuals to take proactive steps toward their health and the well-being of their families.
Through consistent care, compassion, and education, the OPD Clinic not only treats illness but also nurtures healthier, more informed communities creating lasting impact across Karachi’s most vulnerable populations.
We look forward to support from interested individuals and groups to continue serving stateless communities in Karachi.
