Mining involves exposure to various health hazards, including dust, heavy machinery, noise, and hazardous materials, leading to conditions like silicosis and pneumoconiosis due to dust exposure, chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries due to heavy lifting and repetitive motion and hearing loss due to continuous exposure to loud machinery. Furthermore, accidents and emergencies are an inherent part of mining operations. Immediate access to medical care can significantly reduce the severity of injuries and save lives. The provision of health facilities for mine workers and their families is a vital component of our commitment to their well-being. By offering dedicated and accessible healthcare services, we ensure that our workforce remains healthy, productive, and resilient, ultimately contributing to the overall success and sustainability of our mining operations. To cater to their daily health needs, we have established:
- 5 Hospitals at Choa Saiden Shah, Dandot, Khushab, Sargodha & Makerwal: Equipped to provide comprehensive medical care and emergency services in remote mining areas.
- 7 Dispensaries in Munara, Mithrala, Sargodha and D.G.Khan: Offering essential medical services and treatments.
- 1 Mobile Health Unit: Ensuring healthcare reaches even the most remote and inaccessible areas, providing flexibility and prompt medical attention where needed.
Given the remote locations of many mining operations, locally available government health facilities are often unable to meet the specific needs of mine workers. Our dedicated health facilities fill this critical gap, ensuring that workers receive the specialized care they require. These facilities are dedicated solely to mine workers and their families, ensuring that their unique health needs are met efficiently and free of cost.
