00:26What a great thing. Welcome to our segment on good deeds.
00:30We will introduce you in detail.
00:32But the package we just saw, the name of the person mentioned,
00:35how he has set an example of serving humanity above any distinction.
00:40We will tell you in detail.
00:42And he has dedicated his life, every moment.
00:44What a great thing.
00:46For those people whose loved ones run away from them.
00:52The disease of cold.
00:54It has been considered to be a disease for centuries.
01:00That it will affect each other.
01:02And people used to avoid their family members and loved ones.
01:07But Dr. Utfao did a great job in serving humanity.
01:12Our guest today is M.A.L.C.
01:16We will talk more about this institution.
01:20What services are being provided?
01:22What is the vision ahead?
01:24We will introduce the guests.
01:26And then we will know about this journey from them.
01:28We have Mewan Lobo with us.
01:30He is the CEO of M.A.L.C.
01:32Thank you so much.
01:34We have Dr. Ali Murtaza.
01:36He is the Director of Programs at M.A.L.C.
01:38Mewan, we will start with you.
01:40Tell us how this institution was established in 1956.
01:44What is the journey?
01:46Can you tell us about it from the background?
01:50The program that was registered in 1956.
01:56But before that, in the early 50s.
01:59This religious congregation, Daughters of the Heart of Mary.
02:03Dr. Utfao belonged to this congregation.
02:07He started working in McLeod Road.
02:10In those days, there was a colony.
02:12We do not use the word leper anymore.
02:14The patients of leprosy used to live there.
02:18There were only sisters to work there.
02:21Because the common people did not go there.
02:23They were afraid to go there.
02:25And the people who helped them.
02:27The persons affected by leprosy.
02:30The ones who already had leprosy.
02:32They used to work with them.
02:34You can say handful of lay volunteers.
02:38One of them was a famous Pakistani doctor.
02:42Dr. Zarina Fazal Boy.
02:44She used to work there.
02:47When this work started.
02:50Sometimes I think.
02:53She was not worried about her life.
02:57Because at that time, there was no advance information about this.
03:01There was no treatment.
03:03She knew that there was no treatment for this.
03:07She started working.
03:09Dr. Fau came in 1960.
03:11When Dr. Fau came in 1960.
03:13She was a medical doctor.
03:15But she used to do dressing.
03:17Today, there are so many doctors who do dressing.
03:19There is no one.
03:21But she thought.
03:23Patients are coming from all over Pakistan.
03:25If I keep treating here.
03:27We have to block the source.
03:30Then she said.
03:32We had a driver.
03:34She took him in a jeep.
03:36And went to all over Pakistan.
03:38Then the provincial government of Pakistan.
03:40The health department.
03:42They were convinced.
03:44These patients are coming from all over Pakistan.
03:46They convinced the government.
03:48To bring their people.
03:50For this treatment.
03:52Then we established a national training institute.
03:56In Karachi.
03:58Workers from all over Pakistan.
04:00They come here.
04:02They are given training.
04:04We were sitting.
04:06We were talking about this.
04:08The jazaam that has been controlled.
04:10This is done by paramedic workers.
04:12Okay.
04:14Dr. Ruth Fau was the only doctor.
04:16Who used to go to the field with them.
04:18And now.
04:20The doctors in our institution.
04:22I also pay tribute to them.
04:24Because.
04:26For these doctors.
04:28The area of jazaam.
04:30It's a dead end.
04:32They can't practice anywhere else.
04:34They have dedicated their lives.
04:36Dr. Ali Murtaza.
04:38Who is sitting with me.
04:40Dr. Mutair Zia.
04:42And other doctors.
04:44I pay a lot of tribute to them.
04:46Once again.
04:48Thank you for your contribution.
04:50And for your time.
04:52If we talk about MLC.
04:54Before that.
04:56Let's talk about this.
04:58Is it true.
05:00That if you get infected.
05:02And if you go to the patient.
05:04You will also get infected.
05:06Please tell us about this.
05:08It is an infectious disease.
05:10But it is said.
05:1295% of human beings.
05:14They have a natural immunity.
05:16Okay.
05:18They get infected.
05:20But the disease doesn't show up.
05:22Only a few people are left.
05:24Who have this disease.
05:26It shows itself.
05:28It is generally seen.
05:30Untreated patients.
05:32Who have not been treated.
05:34Their family members.
05:36They are at the highest risk.
05:38That it will spread from one to another.
05:40Because.
05:42And it is also possible.
05:44That there is a tendency in the family members.
05:46That is also possible.
05:48About jazaam.
05:50It is such an old disease.
05:52That.
05:54Jesus.
05:56Miracles.
05:58It has been mentioned.
06:00But the complete information.
06:02About this disease.
06:04Is not correct.
06:06Research is still going on.
06:08There is a reason for this.
06:10WHO has a list.
06:12Neglected tropical diseases.
06:14The disease.
06:16Which is not given much attention.
06:18The exact mechanism.
06:20How it is transmitted.
06:22That is also not clear.
06:24Because one animal.
06:26Science has progressed so much.
06:28In every field.
06:30And you are saying.
06:32There is still a lot of research.
06:34There are still many questions.
06:36Whose answers.
06:38People do not have.
06:40And you.
06:42You are doing services there.
06:44As Sir said.
06:46It is a dead end.
06:48Thank you so much.
06:50If we talk about MALC.
06:54Cobra patients.
06:56Cuberculosis.
06:58About which.
07:00People run away.
07:02From such patients.
07:04And the people who are not well.
07:06Who can be treated.
07:08There are three departments.
07:10We do it in five.
07:12When we controlled leprosy in 1996.
07:14WHO had set a goal.
07:16In Pakistan.
07:18Leprosy should be controlled by 2000.
07:20We did it four years ago.
07:24As we were controlling.
07:26Because in Pakistan.
07:28There was no control.
07:30In Gilgit-Baltistan.
07:32Kashmir.
07:34Karachi was the last place.
07:36To control leprosy.
07:38Karachi had different challenges.
07:40As we were controlling.
07:42We included other disciplines.
07:44We combined.
07:46Tuberculosis with leprosy.
07:48Blindness with leprosy.
07:50We are working in disability.
07:54Mother and child health.
07:56These are diseases of poverty.
07:58In those areas.
08:00Where.
08:02Common facilities cannot reach.
08:04How many centers are working?
08:06Nationwide.
08:08Our program.
08:10Public-private partnership.
08:12Outside.
08:14Karachi.
08:16157 centers.
08:2090%.
08:22Government.
08:24Centers.
08:26We support.
08:30Logistics.
08:32Transport.
08:34Per diem.
08:36Incentives.
08:38If we talk about.
08:40Dr. Rutfau.
08:42His.
08:44Respect.
08:46People.
08:48After his death.
08:50Did MLC face any challenges?
08:52I will say.
08:54I will not say.
08:56Until.
08:58Dr. Rutfau was not known.
09:00I am being very frank.
09:02Someone asked.
09:04Dr. Rutfau.
09:06There was not much marketing.
09:08People do not know you.
09:10He said.
09:12Our institution is anonymous.
09:14People do not know him.
09:16The people we serve.
09:18They are anonymous.
09:20People do not know about them.
09:22We will not do branding.
09:24Yes.
09:26When he died.
09:28The day he died.
09:30The following Saturday.
09:32We will do his funeral.
09:34There was media coverage.
09:36There was a hype.
09:38People got to know.
09:40When he got a state funeral.
09:42People got to know.
09:44Exactly.
09:46Before that.
09:48Our Pakistanis.
09:50This is the woman.
09:52Who served our people.
09:54The program he started.
09:56We will support this program.
09:58Inshallah.
10:00Dr. Rutfau.
10:02Do you have anything to share?
10:04With regards to this disease.
10:06With regards to MLC.
10:08With regards to this disease.
10:10The challenge is.
10:12To get a diagnosis as soon as possible.
10:14The symptoms.
10:16Can you tell us?
10:18The initial symptoms are.
10:20A bruise on the skin.
10:22A bruise.
10:24Which is not being treated.
10:26And it is swollen.
10:28The patient should think.
10:30That this can happen.
10:32What kind of tests can be done?
10:34Usually.
10:36A simple sensation test.
10:38You just touch and see.
10:40Then there is a test.
10:42A small incision.
10:44In the ear.
10:46Where there are bumps.
10:48You take out the tissue.
10:50And see it in the microscope.
10:52So that the bacteria can be identified.
10:54What should be done immediately?
10:56If there is such a situation.
10:58The nearest MLC centers.
11:00In Karachi.
11:02The number of MLC centers.
11:04In Pakistan.
11:06Half of them are in Karachi.
11:08And the rest are in Sindh.
11:10This is an area.
11:12Where more attention is needed.
11:14And a dermatologist.
11:16Who is an expert.
11:18We need their cooperation.
11:20People come to them.
11:22To identify the patients.
11:24And refer them.
11:26If the patients are not identified.
11:28Then it leads to infertility.
11:30And then.
11:32You kill the bacteria.
11:34But infertility.
11:36Is lifelong.
11:38Think about it for a moment.
11:40If this happens to a person.
11:42With a cold.
11:44As you said.
11:46There has been a stigma for centuries.
11:48Sir.
11:50Those who are watching.
11:52Those who are supporting.
11:54MLC has done its work on this basis.
11:56And some people.
11:58Who have been inspired.
12:00How will you invite them?
12:02To support this institution.
12:04Already I will say.
12:06When I joined this program.
12:08In 1990.
12:10At that time.
12:12More than 90% funding came.
12:14From the German speaking community.
12:16Now it is.
12:18Thank God.
12:20The support is 50-50.
12:22Last year.
12:24We.
12:26Launched a strategy.
12:28Roadmap towards.
12:30Zero leprosy.
12:32WHO.
12:34Announced in 2021-2030.
12:36Leprosy can be eliminated.
12:38In some countries.
12:40In Pakistan.
12:42We rolled out this strategy.
12:44Last year.
12:46If in 2023.
12:48We had to implement it.
12:50At that time.
12:52We got a bad news.
12:54Our international funding.
12:56Was cut.
12:58They say.
13:00In the name of God.
13:02We will do it.
13:04When the Sindh government.
13:06Got to know.
13:08We will support you.
13:10We are willing to walk.
13:12The last mile with you all.
13:14From 2024-2030.
13:16Whatever is needed for leprosy.
13:18We are ready to support you.
13:22I can't give a message.
13:24I will say.
13:26This program.
13:28Is serving such people.
13:30Who are not in the mainstream.
13:32Who do not live in cities.
13:34In such areas.
13:36Where many people.
13:38Can't imagine.
13:40There are such areas.
13:42Our field workers.
13:44I will say.
13:46They go.
13:48There is no house there.
13:50They go to sleep.
13:52They spend the whole day.
13:54There is no washroom.
13:56This is the legacy.
13:58You are an example.
14:00Thank you so much.
14:02Thank you so much.
14:04All the team members.
14:06All the field workers.
14:08I salute you all.
14:10May God keep you safe.
14:12Thank you so much.
14:14Thank you so much.
14:16Thank you so much.
14:18What a great service.
14:20A practical example has been established.
14:22The basic character.
14:24Is of such a personality.
14:26Everyone is proud of his character.
14:28Without any discrimination.
14:30He has laid the foundation.
14:32We all move forward on our own.
14:34And do our part.
14:36InshaAllah.
14:38Thank you very much.
14:40And a lot of applause.
14:42That's it.
