​Over 3000 patient visits were supported with over Rs 148 million zakat donations.

A momentous milestone was crossed: PBS received Shariah Certification, based on an extensive and in-depth review of the zakat collection and disbursal process, which commenced in September 2016. The review was conducted by highly respected Shariah scholars, Mufti Ibrahim Essa and Mufti Ahmad Afnan. During the year, PBS made a number of efforts to reach out to you - our donors - as well as to our patients. We conveyed the importance of the donations we have received through regular dinners and presentations and captured the plight of many of our patients, and the impact of your donations, through regular videos and stories which are being uploaded on our Facebook page and website.
