Islamabad, Apr 3, 2025: As Pakistan faces an increasing burden of illnesses, many individuals find themselves confined to hospital beds during one of the most cherished times of the year, Eid ‘Hum Sab Ki Eid’ Initiative Spreads Festive Cheer to Patients Away from Home.
For these patients, the festive season becomes a time of solitude, as they miss out on traditional celebrations and the warmth of home.
Eid is synonymous with unity, featuring heartfelt prayers, joyous family reunions, festive meals, and the beloved custom of exchanging Eidi. Yet, for those undergoing medical care, these treasured traditions often remain out of reach.
Men are unable to attend the early morning Eid prayers and share embraces with loved ones, while women miss the excitement of Chand Raat, the joy of applying Mehendi, and the anticipation of preparing for the celebrations.

Patients who have traveled from rural areas to urban medical centers feel the absence of their families even more deeply during this special time.
Understanding the emotional challenges these individuals face, the ‘Hum Sab Ki Eid’ initiative, backed by Getz Pharma, brought the festive spirit into hospitals across the country.
Cities including Karachi, Hyderabad, Multan, Rahim Yar Khan, and Bahawalpur saw hospital wards transformed into vibrant spaces where patients, doctors, and healthcare staff shared in the joy of Eid together.
Healthcare professionals played a vital role in fostering emotional connections with their patients, offering comfort and companionship to those unable to be with their families.
The initiative brought festive decorations, gift distributions, and the joy of receiving Eidi, ensuring that no one felt left out of the celebrations.
“At its core, Eid represents togetherness, compassion, and spreading happiness. Through ‘Hum Sab Ki Eid,’ we sought to bring a sense of inclusion and warmth to those who would otherwise miss out on the festivities,” shared Dr. Nazish Butt, a leading gastroenterologist.
This heartwarming initiative underscores the significance of emotional well-being alongside medical care, serving as a reminder that no one should feel isolated during this meaningful time.
By creating moments of joy and nurturing a sense of belonging, the program succeeded in bringing solace and happiness to those spending Eid away from home.
