TRUSTEES

Introduction

 The Baqai Foundation established in 1976 is the supereme policy making body. It is responsible for monitoring and assistance and guidance to pursue various projects which have been completed or are currently underway. For the last 60 years, Prof. Dr. Fareeduddin Baqai, Prof. Dr. Zahida Baqai and their capable teams have consistently executed sterling projects in the fields of Human Development, Poverty Alleviation, Medical Education, Training, Healthcare, Food and Nutrition, Environment Protection as well as a myriad of complex challenges. The very first project launched by Prof. Dr. Baqai in the 1960's, was the establishment of a 350 bedded healthcare facility to serve the lower and middle income community groups. This project also entertained charity patients. Baqai Hospital at Nazimabad provided high-quality, economical medical care, that was scarcely available at that time. The establishment of Baqai Hospital was the first private-sector social venture in Pakistan, with a primary focus on medical research and education. Since its formative years the Baqai Foundation International had the vision and compassion to identify the detrimental gap between the large growing population and the sparsely available health-care institutions in the region. Today, this large, diversified medical complex and education facility continues to grow and offer state-of-theArt training programs in numerous fields of medical sciences. In 1983, the BFI founder, visionary philanthropist and medical practitioner, Prof. Dr. Fareeduddin Baqai, along with his committed, highly qualified, kindhearted wife Prof. Dr. Zahida Baqai, got this foundation officially registered. This foundation and its passionate social endeavors have earned the respect and support of thousands of benevolent donors from across the world. Its community development projects are operating in numerous countries and regions of the world, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Canada and USA.
