    PMC is part of a larger project of Pakistan Centre, the world’s largest community Centre for overseas Pakistanis, built on the novel idea of own a brick. Community members were invited to ‘own brick’ worth Dh1000 each as part of their contribution to build the centre. Those who ‘own a brick’ are also given 10-year membership of PAD.

    The concept of Pakistan Medical Centre was conceived by the Medical Wing of Pakistan Association, which started free medical camp one a month for the deserving patients. The doctors and healthcare professionals involved were all volunteers that realized once a month free medical camp was not enough, and a permanent healthcare facility was required. Since 2009, more than PAD has received more than 30,0000 patients at free medical camps. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News
