Baqai Foundation
TRUSTEES
Introduction
The Baqai Foundation established in 1976 is the
supereme policy making body. It is responsible
for monitoring and assistance and guidance to
pursue various projects which have been
completed or are currently underway.
For the last 60 years, Prof. Dr. Fareeduddin Baqai,
Prof. Dr. Zahida Baqai and their capable teams
have consistently executed sterling projects in the
fields of Human Development, Poverty Alleviation,
Medical Education, Training, Healthcare, Food
and Nutrition, Environment Protection as well as
a myriad of complex challenges.
The very first project launched by Prof. Dr. Baqai
in the 1960's, was the establishment of a 350
bedded healthcare facility to serve the lower and
middle income community groups. This project
also entertained charity patients. Baqai Hospital
at Nazimabad provided high-quality, economical
medical care, that was scarcely available at that
time.
The establishment of Baqai Hospital was the first
private-sector social venture in Pakistan, with a
primary focus on medical research and education.
Since its formative years the Baqai Foundation
International had the vision and compassion to
identify the detrimental gap between the large
growing population and the sparsely available
health-care institutions in the region. Today, this
large, diversified medical complex and education
facility continues to grow and offer state-of-theArt
training programs in numerous fields of
medical sciences.
In 1983, the BFI founder, visionary philanthropist
and medical practitioner, Prof. Dr. Fareeduddin
Baqai, along with his committed, highly qualified,
kindhearted wife Prof. Dr. Zahida Baqai, got this
foundation officially registered. This foundation
and its passionate social endeavors have earned
the respect and support of thousands of
benevolent donors from across the world. Its
community development projects are operating
in numerous countries and regions of the world,
including Bangladesh, Nepal, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan,
Canada and USA.
