Community work is the tradition of Fatima Jinnah Women University and every student
is required to spend 20 hours in any organization trust or hospital and offer there
voluntarily service. We have done the community work at Zohra Nursing Home.
Introduction of the organization
Zohra Nursing Home is a hospitali. It is one of the hospitals in the country with indoor
facility for patients. Zohra Nursing Home is well bedded teaching hospital which is
situated on the Khadam hussain Road Rawalpindi.
Twenty hours schedule:

First Day:

On the very first day we met the with Dr. Mansoor. he assigned us the task according to
our communication skills and ability. To fulfill our task we visited the hospital. He told us
that you have to visit the patients one by one and you must spend some time with them.
He told us that you should not tell them anything about their disease. On the first day we
started our work at 8 o’clock and we ended at 2 sharp.

Second Day:

On the second day we reached the hospital at 8 o’ clock in the morning. We have to meet
the cfor that we had waited for one hour. Then we started our work according to the
instructions of the Dr. Mansoor.we started visiting patients which we left in the previous
day. We also attend those patients which we visited on the first day. There were many
patients who came from different parts of the Pakistan like Quetta,Jhelum etc.people
were not very educated and they don’t know what’s the timing of tablets and quantity
which they have to eat. We told them that how you have to take the tablet on the prescribe
timings. So we start working with them like we behave with them like their relatives.

Third Day:

On the third day we reached at hospital at 8 o’clock in the morning on the third we as
usual meet with Dr. Mansoor and then we started our work. On the third day we found
that the staff like nurses some of them are very cooperative and some of them are not
cooperative it is the responsibility of the staff that they have to take great care of the
patients who are in the old age and who have no attendants.

Fourth Day:

On the fourth day we reached the hospital at 8’o clock and we visited the other wards of
the hospital. Then we met the assistant administrator Dr. Mansoor we have discussed
with him the response of the patients, condition of the hospital, behavior of the Doctors
and Nurses, the reception staff condition of the waiting room, Problems facing by the
patients and our point of view about the hospital.

Our Experience:

In short the condition of the hospital is better then other private hospitals and the
according to our observation the main problem of the patients that they are facing the
water problem, Food, cleanness of the sanitation.

Overall it was a grate experience and we feel honored to be the part of the poor patients
and hospital that is just like the drop in the sea.
