00:30There are a lot of things that we don't pay attention to, which should be done.
00:39So, it's a very different matter.
00:42Yes, you also noticed in the package, the Muhammadi Welfare Foundation,
00:46which is providing special services in hematology and oncology.
00:50And as Wasim Bhai said, we don't see that much of it.
00:56We don't see that much of it,
01:00that we should look around us and
01:03the foundation or organization that is addressing that issue,
01:06we should support them.
01:07But you have to believe that it is a great thing
01:09that is being done by the Muhammadi Foundation.
01:11We are thankful.
01:12Syed Mehdi Rizvi Sahib is with us.
01:15You are the CEO and founding member of the Muhammadi Foundation.
01:18How are you today?
01:19Are you well?
01:20Tell us from the beginning,
01:22when did the establishment of this institution come into effect?
01:24What were the objectives?
01:26Who were the people who laid the foundation for this?
01:29In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
01:30Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ala Muhammad.
01:32First of all, I am very thankful to you, Mr. Wasim,
01:38that the organization that you have been working for almost 21 years,
01:43has given me the opportunity to tell people on such a big channel.
01:46Actually, the Muhammadi Foundation,
01:48the Muhammadi Blood Bank came into existence by accident.
01:53We did not have any plan of blood banking.
01:55I was doing my own business. We did not have anyone.
01:57Yes, we have been associated with our senior organization in the past.
02:02We have worked there, we have done trainings there.
02:05And we used to work as volunteers.
02:08I have a very good friend, Mr. Maroom Akbar Kamani.
02:11And if you look at it, I will give this credit to him,
02:14that he is the founder of this.
02:16He had an employee,
02:19I am telling you about 2002-2003,
02:22when there were 20-22 deaths in Karachi every day.
02:25And people used to use the word, what was the score today?
02:28And at that time, the situation of blood banking was such that,
02:32the famous and famous founders of blood banking in Pakistan,
02:36they were blood banks on the Amazon road within a radius of 3-4 km.
02:40He had a driver, he had a sister,
02:43and she was in a hospital in Malir Saudabad,
02:46she had a case of gynecology, she needed blood.
02:49So, bringing her blood there and taking it to Malir Saudabad,
02:54keep that in mind.
02:56When he reached there with the blood, his sister died.
03:00In those days, these were the areas where people were killed every day.
03:06So, first of all, we tried to keep crying on this,
03:10and kept shouting every year.
03:12But we said, no, we talked to our Syrian organization,
03:15that you should give a blood bank facility here.
03:18Brother Iqral, there is no blood bank from the houses to the region plaza.
03:24Really?
03:25No, there was no one.
03:27There was a region plaza, you go to the left,
03:29Jinnah Hospital, ahead is Civil,
03:31then ahead is the famous and famous blood bank of Pakistan.
03:34Mohammadi focused, we have to go to those places where there is a gap.
03:38We have to cover the gap, we don't have to duplicate it.
03:41Absolutely right.
03:42Because there is one place and you are with them.
03:44Yes, we support them, not that we stand alone,
03:47opening our own shop.
03:48Absolutely right.
03:49Even today, what has Mohammadi done?
03:51Mohammadi has been in Skardu since 2008,
03:53at minus 40, minus 50 temperature,
03:55at PHQ Civil Hospital in Skardu, since 2008.
03:58Excellent.
03:59Since 2009, he is at Multan, Ishtar Road.
04:02Similarly, all the NICVDs that are working in Sindh right now,
04:06all the branches of Mohammadi are present,
04:08round the clock, in NICVD.
04:10National Institute of Cardiovascular.
04:12Absolutely right.
04:1324 hours.
04:14And now there is Balochistan, Hazara Division,
04:17Larkana and Hyderabad.
04:19This is in our process.
04:20Absolutely right.
04:21Apart from this, there are three thalassemia centres,
04:23in Multan,
04:24Jacobabad.
04:25See, it is very easy to work in Karachi.
04:28Absolutely right.
04:29In an area like Jacobabad, here.
04:31The way I am sitting here now,
04:33I am getting shivering here.
04:35Mashallah, the environment is so good,
04:37everything is there.
04:38Jacobabad's temperature is 52-53.
04:41400 thalassemia patients.
04:44And all those patients...
04:46So, on one side,
04:47work is being done in minus 40,
04:49and on the other side,
04:50work is being done in 50 plus temperature.
04:52And second thing is,
04:53Jacobabad is that point,
04:55where all the patients of Jafrabad, Naseerabad,
04:57Dehramurad, Jamali, Jharkhand,
04:59come there,
05:01and this temperature is maintained,
05:03in that heat.
05:05And in this,
05:06I am very thankful to the government of Sindh,
05:08Health Department,
05:09and Sindh Blood Transplant Authority,
05:11for their complete financial support to Mohammadi.
05:15Okay, this is a very good thing.
05:17In this year,
05:19from Indus to Mohammadi Blood Bank,
05:21there are many other institutions.
05:23And again, I say,
05:24if we criticize anyone,
05:25there is no personal agenda.
05:26So, whoever we criticize,
05:28if they like something,
05:29we don't even hesitate to praise them.
05:30So, regarding the health sector,
05:31many organizations have said,
05:32that the role of the Sindh government is good.
05:34In the good segment of 2025,
05:36at least 30-40% of the guests who came,
05:40indirectly or indirectly,
05:42endorsed that the Sindh government
05:44is supporting many institutions,
05:46which are very credible,
05:47and are doing a very good job,
05:48in the public health sector.
05:50And one of those institutions,
05:51is present with us today.
05:52So, obviously,
05:53as Wasim Bhai said,
05:54criticism is based on right and wrong things.
05:57And where there is praise,
05:59there should also be praise.
06:00So, this is a blessed thing.
06:01And this is the credit of the Sindh government,
06:03that a lot of people,
06:05in the matter of health,
06:06in the health sector,
06:07the efforts of the Sindh government,
06:09are worthy of their support.
06:11And we also acknowledge this today.
06:12100%
06:13Absolutely.
06:14Now, I am thankful to all the well-wishers,
06:17on the basis of your channel,
06:20and especially to the Khuja community,
06:22who have done a thalassemia prevention program.
06:25Iqraab bhai,
06:26you have done a lot of research on thalassemia.
06:28And I think you are the only anchor,
06:30who has gone so deep,
06:31to the ground,
06:32to the camps,
06:33and all the blood donations,
06:34I don't know what you have done.
06:35Sir, I have done that,
06:36centrifuge machines,
06:37and all those things,
06:38I have seen them.
06:39JazakAllah.
06:40Iqraab bhai,
06:41when it comes to thalassemia,
06:43I mean,
06:44I say,
06:45the center of thalassemia,
06:46I say,
06:47this is a petrol pump.
06:48The car came,
06:49filled the fuel,
06:5015,
06:51filled the fuel,
06:5215,
06:53then it started.
06:54The real prevention,
06:55for Pakistan,
06:56it is a matter of pride,
06:57that there is such a community,
06:59which has mandated prevention,
07:03and the thalassemic tests,
07:06in 18 years,
07:07a child was not born in that community.
07:10You are talking about the Khuja community.
07:11Yes.
07:12You said,
07:13I gave an example earlier.
07:14A child was not born.
07:15It is a matter of pride,
07:16that before the marriage,
07:17there is a norm,
07:18that the child will be tested,
07:19otherwise,
07:20the engagement will not take place.
07:21And because of that,
07:22the disease has finished in that community.
07:23So,
07:24it is an example in front of us.
07:25It is a living example.
07:26Before the marriage,
07:27sorry,
07:58just now,
07:59the Sindh government,
08:00the health department,
08:01took a very good initiative.
08:02NADRA,
08:03that is the main centre,
08:04where you have to go,
08:05the future child also has to go,
08:07whether you are a birth certificate,
08:09or anything else.
08:10You have to go.
08:11NADRA,
08:12with NADRA,
08:13the health department,
08:14the Sindh government,
08:15signed the MOU.
08:16Mohammadi blood bank,
08:17at this time,
08:18NADRA in Kaurangi,
08:19and NADRA in Sukkur,
08:20for every patient,
08:21who is doing the thalassemic test,
08:24Hepatitis B,
08:25C, HIV,
08:26VDRL,
08:27and Malaria.
08:28Now,
08:29you see,
08:30on one platform,
08:31a person is coming
08:32to get an NIC done,
08:33or to get it renewed.
08:34And there,
08:35this work is also being done?
08:36This facility,
08:37is being given to him,
08:38free of cost,
08:39by the Sindh government,
08:40under the auspices of Mohammadi.
08:41Meaning,
08:42if someone goes to get this test done,
08:43then it is not 500 rupees,
08:44here,
08:4512,000 tests are free.
08:46So,
08:47a lot of work is being done.
08:48Long live.
08:49It is not being highlighted.
08:50Now,
08:51if we talk about
08:52Mohammadi services,
08:53tell us,
08:54what is its support system?
08:55That is,
08:56how many people are there,
08:57who are running it?
08:58How much expense is required?
08:59Obviously,
09:00the blood bank has the impression
09:01that people are donating blood,
09:02and it is being given in advance.
09:03But,
09:04obviously,
09:05there is a cost of running it.
09:06There are different centres,
09:07there is a cost of running them.
09:08So,
09:09please tell us about this
09:10whole model,
09:11that where,
09:12where,
09:13is there a financial need?
09:14See,
09:15Mohammadi Foundation is basically
09:16an NGO.
09:17There are three projects of the NGO,
09:18Blood Bank,
09:19Laboratory,
09:20and Thalassemia.
09:21Right.
09:22Okay,
09:23Thalassemia is the only project,
09:24which is 100% charity.
09:25So,
09:26the cost is
09:27three of course,
09:28total.
09:29You know everything about it,
09:30blood transfusion,
09:31iron chelation,
09:32lab investigation,
09:33all these things are there.
09:34Okay,
09:35in this,
09:36the cost that
09:37is incurred
09:38on one child,
09:39we,
09:40our philanthropists,
09:41our community,
09:42people who are
09:43sitting outside our country,
09:44come here,
09:45we request them.
09:46They sponsor
09:47this child every year.
09:48Every year.
09:49Right.
09:50Okay.
09:51Why is this?
09:52Second,
09:53Blood Bank,
09:54NICB,
09:55they will take
09:56donors from you,
09:575,000,
09:587,000,
09:5910,000.
10:00If you come to Mohammadi,
10:01NICBD is free of cost.
10:02In Karachi,
10:03the token money
10:04that we give,
10:05it is small,
10:06600.
10:07Right.
10:08That means,
10:09the whole surgery
10:10is arranged,
10:11you get a unit
10:12from outside.
10:13Allah Akbar.
10:14One unit.
10:15Okay.
10:16NICBD is
10:17the only one.
10:18Sakhar and Tando Mohammad Khan,
10:19around the clock,
10:20free of cost,
10:21are running Mohammadi.
10:22Wow.
10:23They are running
10:24Mohammadi.
10:25They are running
10:26Mohammadi.
10:27The thing is
10:28I am very thankful
10:29to all my well-wishers
10:30that
10:31when Mohammadi
10:32puts his budget
10:33in front of them,
10:34puts his deficit in front of them,
10:35you believe it,
10:36some names are such
10:37that if I
10:38don't have the command
10:39not to take names,
10:40the majority
10:41we have
10:42are those
10:43who say
10:44they are humans.
10:45They come.
10:46What we say
10:47is give us
10:48money.
10:49Give us
10:50medicine.
10:51Give us
11:22There are many, many.
11:23One is this side, which is of finance, of course.
11:25And you said, of course, people support.
11:27There is no doubt that if the institution is working,
11:30then of course, God makes some means and means.
11:32Of course, of course.
11:33So, one challenge is also about the precautions of blood.
11:36Please shed some light on that too.
11:38Mr. Israr, you hear every year in Ramadan that the shortage of blood is the shortage of blood.
11:43Yes.
11:44I am not talking about the rest.
11:46It is the only organization in the world where there is no shortage of blood.
11:49Alhamdulillah.
11:50Great.
11:51Because not only do we give blood to our patients on an independent basis,
11:55but the stakeholders of thalassemia in Pakistan and Karachi and Sindh,
12:00they also get blood from Mohammadi for their patients.
12:03Right.
12:04At the moment, the Karachi police are 48,000 soldiers.
12:07Mohammadi is the regular blood donor.
12:09Because whether it is the CTD department or IB or whatever,
12:13they get all the blood they need from Mohammadi.
12:17Okay.
12:19All the blood is going from Mohammadi.
12:20Okay.
12:21So, what we have done is that we have opened accounts.
12:23There is Matami Anjumaneh, there are Nath committees,
12:27there are Madaris and there are many organizations in the corporate sector.
12:31We have opened their accounts.
12:33Great.
12:34So, what happens now is that we don't have that practice.
12:36We went and got 200-250-500 bloods.
12:38No.
12:39When we have a shortage of blood group-wise,
12:42we call them and say that there are so many donors of this group,
12:45this is their contact,
12:46put a message on it.
12:47Great.
12:48Our team goes and gets the blood.
12:49In a very scientific way.
12:50This is the same practice all over the world.
12:52Right.
12:53And Alhamdulillah, we don't have any shortage.
12:55Great.
12:56This is a great thing.
12:57Yes, I am telling the truth.
12:58Long live.
12:59You will ask the famous thalassemia centers right now,
13:01they will say that we get blood from Mohammadi.
13:03Register this too,
13:05that in general, we know those institutions or want to support them
13:10whose boards or centers are in the central cities
13:13or on the main streets,
13:16it is a very good thing,
13:17that is also a way.
13:18But when you talk about Jacobabad,
13:20or when you talk about Thar,
13:22or when you talk about Hazara,
13:24it is such a place where there is a lot of need,
13:26but in that way,
13:27people don't see those marketing boards.
13:29So, this is also where there is a need.
13:32For example, when we talk about TCF,
13:34all the institutions of TCF are in remote areas.
13:38So, most people don't even know what such institutions are doing.
13:41You said a very good thing,
13:42that we see on big cities,
13:44there is a budget of those organizations.
13:46Meaning, 40 crores for the Ramadan campaign,
13:4960 crores for Ramadan.
13:50The work that Mohammadi is doing right now,
13:52we don't have that much budget for marketing,
13:55that we spend so much money in advertising.
13:57I mean, if I am sitting on ARY after 20 years,
14:01then you can imagine,
14:02our innocence.
14:03We have been doing it since 2003.
14:05We have been doing it since 2003.
14:07Okay, what is the focus?
14:08We don't want to open more branches in Karachi.
14:10A lot of people are working here.
14:13I have to go to Mithi,
14:15I have to go to Dhar.
14:17I have done my experience in Jacobabad.
14:19I have prepared teams there.
14:21I have also opened in Sukkur.
14:23I have to cover that area.
14:25Now, for that, we need a team.
14:27Inshallah, I have a lot of hope from Allah.
14:29Our prayers, our support,
14:31whenever we talk about children with Thalassemia,
14:33I have a lot of desire,
14:35and as you said,
14:36just to make it easier,
14:39that if tests are done before marriage,
14:41and it is found that
14:43the boy and the girl both have minor Thalassemia,
14:45then they should avoid marriage.
14:47Because the life of those children will also be ruined.
14:49And the life of the future generation as well.
14:51Because Thalassemia is a major problem.
14:53And this is very doable.
14:55This is happening.
14:57Practical examples are in front of us.
14:59So, in the end of this Ramadan,
15:01we have to decide one thing,
15:03that we have to spread this message around us.
15:05So, just by spreading the message,
15:07a whole generation will be saved.
15:09Meaning, no one will want
15:11that his daughter should get married,
15:13and he should have such children,
15:15that he will take them for blood tests
15:17every day for 20-25 years.
15:19No family will want this.
15:21So, if you don't want this,
15:23then there is a small effort,
15:25to get these tests done before marriage.
15:27These are free tests.
15:29These are free tests.
15:31And there is no specific test.
15:33So, this has to be done.
15:35Thank you very much.
15:37And many blessings for Mohd. Blood Bank.
15:41And if you can see the account numbers
15:43on the screen,
15:45then please play your role as well.
15:47Lots of applause.
15:49Let's go.
