History
Our Story
The Pakistan Autism, Health Sciences & Research Foundation (PAHSRF) was founded by Dr. Sana Azhar driven by a deeply personal mission. Later Maj. Syed Azhar Shah (R) joined as donor to achieve the goal of this organization. As parents of children with autism, they faced the challenges and gaps in support and services in Pakistan firsthand. Determined to make a difference, they embarked on a journey to create an organization that would provide the necessary resources and support for children with autism and other neurological developmental disorders.
Dr. Sana Azhar, a dedicated professional, traveled to various countries, exploring advanced treatments and support systems for children with special needs. After gaining valuable insights and knowledge from these international experiences, she returned to Pakistan with a vision to implement similar high standards of care and support within her own community.
Together with Maj (R) Azhar Shah, they established PAHSRF to address the lack of adequate facilities and services for children with autism in Pakistan. Their commitment to improving the lives of these children and their families has been the cornerstone of PAHSRF’s mission. Through comprehensive services, including assessments, therapies, counseling, and training, they aim to create a brighter future for children with autism and foster a more inclusive society.
Today, PAHSRF stands as a beacon of hope and support, dedicated to empowering children with autism and their families, and making a lasting impact on the community.
