Indus Hospital under fire: 25% of donations go to external fundraisers, donors concerned

KARACHI: A recent investigation has raised concerns about Indus Hospital’s donation practices, revealing that nearly 25% of donated funds are allocated to external fundraisers.

This information from the Canada Revenue Agency website suggests that a significant portion of charitable donations may not be reaching the intended beneficiaries.

According to documents, Indus Hospital has confirmed paying external fundraisers, with one company in Hamilton, Ontario, receiving approximately USD 150,000 in 2022, as per IRS records. However, the identity of the company’s owner remains unclear.

The snapshots shared on social media have sparked outrage revealing that a major amount of the donations goes to external parties without telling the donor.

Critics argue that Indus Hospital’s lack of transparency regarding these payments is concerning, as donors may unknowingly divert funds to those in need.

As the investigation continues, concerned parties are urged to seek answers, such as who owns the Hamilton-based company receiving substantial funds and the justification for the 25% allocation to external fundraisers.

Donors and supporters demand clarity on Indus Hospital’s donation allocation and fundraising practices. The hospital’s management has yet to comment on the matter.
