Humanitarian Work

Founder of the Village Pharmacist Model To address physician shortages, Dr. Naim Anwar  Muzaffar trained 1,500 rural pharmacists through six-month certificates (1985-1995). Equipped with diagnostic kits and essential medicines, they managed basic care in underserved regions, reducing clinic burdens by 40% in pilot districts. Their antenatal counseling contributed to a 22% drop in infant mortality across Attock District. This evidence directly informed WHO’s 1993 Primary Health Care Guidelines.

Founder of Rural Mobile Health Camps Dr. Muzaffar’s “Pharmacy on Wheels” initiative (1978-1994) deployed students to 412 Punjabi villages quarterly, providing free diabetes screenings, essential medicines, and patient education. These camps served 210,000+ patients, with 72% showing improved chronic disease management through pharmacist-led follow-ups. The program’s “One Student, One Village” model became compulsory community service for pharmacy undergraduates, later adopted by Khyber Medical University’s outreach program.
