They help Thalassemics not just EXIST but rather LIVE and
lead a healthy life. While in emergency
and general relief we serve the humanity in their medical and social concerns.
Their area of work is medical relief, advocacy,
rehabilitation, reconstruction & education in the time of any natural or
man-made calamity. They believe in the
collective and collaborative approach for accomplishment of goals that seem
hard to achieve The name of Omair Sana
Foundation as the name suggests was derived from Omair & Sana, the two
children of Dr. Kashif Hussain Ansari , himself an Oncologist, Hematologist
serving in America. Both were suffering from a genetically oriented blood
disease. Even after a strong and vigilant health management and having all
required resources he couldn’t make their survival possible.
Omair & Sana died in the age of 5&3 respectively.
After recovery from the trauma of his children’s demise, Dr. Ansari, Thought
that even having all resources in a modern, technically equipped and developed
United States, the chance of survival for those who have blood disorders is
limited.
What would be happening in a third world country like
Pakistan where more than 40% people are living below poverty line, average
income level is 2$, medical institution are ill equipped, access to the proper
facility center is difficult expensive.
This mishap and insight provoked him to do something for
those who deserve back in the motherland, Pakistan.
