Indus Hospital & Health Network provides quality care free of cost through your Zakat and Donations.

With the help of reputable Sharia Scholars, Indus Hospital & Health Network has developed a criterion to ascertain if Zakat is applicable to a certain individual. Whenever a patient visits the hospital, he/she goes through the assessment with IHHN’s welfare officer to determine their eligibility.

Once the recipient of Zakat is identified, their MR number is marked to signify that the patient’s treatment should be supported from the Zakat fund. The patient is requested to sign a declaration granting the Indus Hospital & Health Network permission to collect Zakat on their behalf and to use that Zakat to sponsor the treatment of his/her and/or other patients or hospital requirements. When the patient is discharged, the hospital generates an internal bill and sends it to the Zakat Committee for settlement.

The process and guidelines for distributing Sadaqah donations are similar to Zakat.
