Teens shine with their volunteerism at hospitals – Aga Khan University Hospital’s Volunteer Programme

Excerpt: Over a query on how the volunteers remain in contact with each other, Zeeshan told that they have created a separate group on social media to remain in touch. “We use social media as well have contact numbers of many fellows; so whenever there is a need, getting to a person is not that hard,” he explained. Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) also runs a volunteer programme, which is now functional for more than two decades. As per the hospital’s official web portal, the volunteers not only push wheel chairs, manage gift, flower and tuck shops, but have also contributed substantial amounts towards AKU’s Patients Welfare Programme. Moreover, till date, more than 6,000 volunteers have given their precious time and dedication to AKUH, and the volunteers are between the ages of 17 and 55 years of age, said the official statement.
