Healthcare Waqf
In many developing countries people continue to suffer and even die from preventable diseases and health problems due to the lack of healthcare facilities, medicines and health education.

Healthcare Waqf supports a range of integrated health and nutrition projects for impoverished people around the world. These projects provide communities with access to basic healthcare and education about health issues.

Our programmes ensure that communities are actively involved in all aspects of the projects to ensure sustainability. Particular emphasis is given to vulnerable groups such as women, children and the elderly.

Abdullah is a 23 year old computer operator who heard about the Waqf Future Fund from a friend. He telephoned Islamic  Relief to find out  more. Having saved  for  many months to buy  a  car, he was so inspired by the idea of helping the needy for  years to come that he changed his  plans. He decided that participating in the Waqf Future Fund would be more beneficial for him in the long term. Abdullah telephoned Islamic Relief’s donation department and  was  able to make full payment for a single Healthcare Waqf share using his debit card.

Mansuri Hospital in Cairo, Egypt, was one of the largest hospitals ever built. Converted from a palace into a hospital in 1248AD under the rule of Sultan Qalaun, it was financed by Awqaf. Following the tenets of the Waqf document, no-one was turned away and there was no limit to how long patients could stay. Its ancient door is preserved in the Islamic Museum of Cairo.
