Fatima Fertilizer is expanding its efforts to support rural women through its Sarsabz Tabeer Healthcare Initiative. The project is in partnership with Mukhtar A. Sheikh Memorial Welfare Hospital (MASH) and the Punjab Government. The program provides free healthcare to female farmers. They are a vital part of Pakistan’s agriculture but often lack basic medical support.
The first free medical camp under the Fatima Fertilizer Sarsabz Tabeer Healthcare Initiative was held on June 26 at THQ Hospital Kehrorpaka in Lodhran. About 400 people, including 100 female farmers, children, and families, received free check-ups and medicines. Medical experts offered services in gynecology, pediatrics, family medicine, neurology, nephrology, and eye care.
Senior officials attended the camp. Multan Division Commissioner Amir Kareem Khan and Assistant Commissioner Kehrorpaka Ashraf Saleh Khan were present. MASH Marketing Head Babar Khan and Fatima Fertilizer’s Brand Manager Noor Malik joined them. All praised the project’s focus on rural women.
Rabel Sadozai, Director Marketing & Sales at Fatima Fertilizer, said, “This healthcare drive is the fourth pillar of our Sarsabz Tabeer program. Women make up 67.9% of Pakistan’s farm workforce. Giving them medical support is key for sustainable rural growth.”
Since its launch, the Sarsabz Tabeer Initiative has trained over 2,000 women in agri-business and small business skills. The company also partners with the Akhuwat Foundation. This helps women get interest-free microloans for their farms or businesses.
This new healthcare step tackles a major problem rural women face — lack of affordable medical care nearby. Fatima Fertilizer plans more camps in other districts of Punjab soon.By adding healthcare to its education, skills, and finance pillars, the Fatima Fertilizer Sarsabz Tabeer Healthcare Initiative shows a complete approach to helping female farmers. It aims to strengthen Pakistan’s rural communities and farming future.
