Summary
The Zubeida Khaliq Memorial Trust was created in memory of his parents by Dr. Sikander Hayat Khan in 1980. Its located in the remote area of Sirmik (Baltistan). The initial idea of the trust was to provide basic medical facilities to one of the poorest areas of the third world, ( the northern areas of Pakistan ). For an unknown reason, the unfortunate peoples of this area have been neglected as far as medical provisions are concerned. Although, trained as a surgeon in the UK, unlike most Dr. Khan realized the plight of these people and decided to, on his own accord, establish a source of medical aid. Before Pakistan was born this area was a part of Kashmir state ruled by a Maharaja.
