Welcome to MALC
MALC is working for Leprosy elimination, TB and
Blindness control and Community Development
for the last 54 years. It is a non profit, non sectarian
organization registered under the Societies Act.
A well-knitted network of 157 control centres nationwide mostly in remote areas is functioning in close collaboration with provincial governments and providing services to the patients and communities free of charge. By the grace of Allah SWT and efforts of the team, Leprosy was controlled in 1996. After controlling Leprosy we are now making efforts for its elimination. MALC is also in the front to provide relief and rehabilitation to the poor and needy people affected by natural and man-made calamities and participates actively in the relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation activities in the earthquake and in various floods and draughts relief projects in the country.
CEO's Message
Dear Well-wishers….
The year will be remembered for its important achievements – The integration of Leprosy in general health finally caught momentum, paving way to gaining Government’s ownership of the Leprosy Elimination Programme. As a result, 56 out of 157 Leprosy Control Centres have been integrated into the existing structure of general health services, while the District Resource Teams are being formed to monitor integrated centres to ensure continuation of effective Leprosy services through integrated and non-integrated centres alike.
Staying close to our targets we remained focused on doing what we do best – helping poor of the poorest un-served communities, and enhancing and expanding our activities in several areas that show potential for serving the most neglected communities while ensuring sustainability of our Triple Merger Programme. Hence, from Leprosy to Community Development – the journey is on.
Matter of Concern...
The devastating floods in Pakistan
Flood situation update….
After all the destruction in the northern part of the country, flood water continues to play havoc in the southern province of Sindh. The situation is more or less the same and every day there are some more villages or towns under the threat of inundation and the population being asked to evacuate. It is expected that the flood water will start entering into the Indian Ocean by the end of coming week. But who knows, how much more death and devastation it still has to unfold…..??
As of now the first wave of flood water is around the city of Hyderabad (150 km from Karachi) before it turns towards the city of Thatta on its way towards the sea. Flood affectees from Sindh have already started coming to Karachi in a number of relief camps being established in different parts of the city. The team at MALC headquarters in Karachi has already initiated relief activities for the flood victims in Karachi and the rest of Sindh. At least two medical camps have been conducted for the affectees in Karachi till date. MALC has also set up emergency TB control centres for flood victims in coordination with Provincial Tb Control Program to ensure the regularity of treatment and minimize the default.
