KARACHI: The Indus Hospital and Health Network (IHHN) recently won the ‘Best Innovative Solution Award’ at the Member Global Meeting organised by the Inter­national Huma­nitarian City in Dubai.

The award was in recognition of the network’s primary care programme’s interventions in Pakistan’s underprivileged areas; the country’s first-ever boat clinic in the Rajanpur district of south Punjab and container-based community health centres in the areas of Khorwah Chowk and Shadi Large in Badin.
