Official ground-breaking ceremony for 3rd PCCP
July 5th, 2020: The foundation stone for the 3rd PCCP is laid in Chak 16!
Many high-ranking representatives attended the ceremony, including Haji Imtiaz Chaudhry (Member of the Pakistani National Assembly) and Dr. Ilyas Gondal (Chief Officer Health District Mandi Bahauddin), which clearly shows the high regard in which Patty’s Child Clinics Pakistan is held as a long-term project in Pakistan. Patty’s Child Clinics Pakistan’s local project manager and president of the Chillianwala Lions Club, Ahsan Mehmood Baba, welcomed numerous Lions club members and residents to the ceremony.
Since construction will be completed in December 2020, the clinic will be ready to open in January 2021 and serve the local community. The initiator of Patty’s Child Clinics Pakistan, Patricia Poetis, is especially grateful to her German donors and supporters, who have once again raised US$90,378,00 for the construction of this mother and child center.
“Without the endless emotional and especially financial support of our major donors such as the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF), we would never be so close to our goal of building 25 clinics in Pakistan,” Patricia Poetis emphasizes.
The first Patty’s Child Clinic opened in January 2016 in Chillianwala, while the second Patty’s Child Clinics Pakistan opened in February 2020 in Mianwal Ranjha, always under the supporting umbrella of the Punjab Ministry of Health.
