Why we startedHum ne yeh kyun shuru kiya
Having worked as a urologist in both Pakistan and the UK, I realised something that patients in Pakistan struggle with: the support between consultations.
With so many patients to see, doctors often have little time to explain, and patients leave the consultation room with questions still in their minds. The anxiety of not knowing, and of having to figure things out on their own, often makes patients feel uncertain and unheard.
This eventually translates into advice not followed, investigations not completed, follow-up not attended and, most importantly, poor health outcomes.
Pakistan aur UK, dono mein urologist ke taur par kaam karte hue maine aik cheez mehsoos ki jis se Pakistan ke mareez jhoojhte hain: consultations ke darmiyan madad ki kami.
Bohat zyada mareezon ko dekhne ki wajah se doctors ke paas samjhane ke liye aksar thora waqt hota hai, aur mareez consultation room se sawalaat apne zehan mein liye nikalte hain. Na jaanne ki pareshani, aur sab kuch khud samajhne ki koshish, aksar mareezon ko be-yaqeeni mehsoos karwati hai aur yeh ehsaas deti hai ke un ki baat suni nahi gayi.
Aakhir mein is ka nateeja yeh nikalta hai ke mashwaray par amal nahi hota, tests mukammal nahi hotay, follow-up mein mareez nahi aate, aur sab se ahem baat, sehat ke nataij kharab hote hain.
Our visionHamara vision
Making sure patients are not left alone.Yeh yaqeeni banana ke mareez akele na rahein.
The vision behind Beyond the Consult is to close this gap: making sure patients are informed about their health and supported with the practical side of their care.
Beyond the Consult ke peechay vision is khala ko bharna hai: yeh yaqeeni banana ke mareez apni sehat ke baare mein baakhabar hon aur un ki dekh-bhaal ke amali pehloo mein un ki madad ki jaye.
Our aimsHamare maqasid
What we are trying to achieve.Hum kya hasil karna chahte hain.
Support patients between visits
Help patients understand the plan their doctor gave them and complete it, in their own language and their own context.
Explain urology clearly
Give patients free, plain-language guides in English and Roman Urdu, so they can understand their condition before and after they see a doctor.
Support the doctor, never replace them
Take some of the load that falls outside the consultation room, while diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with the treating doctor.
Build trust step by step
Do fewer things and do them well, be honest about what can and cannot be done, and grow only as fast as the quality of care allows.
Visits ke darmiyan mareezon ki madad
Mareezon ko samajhne mein madad dena ke un ke doctor ne unhein kya plan diya hai, aur use poora karna, un ki apni zubaan aur apne haalaat mein.
Urology ko saaf alfaaz mein samjhana
Mareezon ko muft, aasaan zubaan mein guides dena, English aur Roman Urdu mein, taake woh doctor se milne se pehle aur baad apni beemari ko samajh sakein.
Doctor ki madad, un ki jagah nahi
Woh bojh halka karna jo consultation room ke bahar parta hai, jabke tashkhees aur ilaaj ke faislay ilaaj karne wale doctor ke paas hi rehte hain.
Bharosa qadam ba qadam
Kam kaam karna aur achhi tarah karna, saaf batana ke kya ho sakta hai aur kya nahi, aur utni hi tezi se barhna jitni ilaaj ka mayaar ijazat de.
