Requested edit
Dear Editor,

I just want to inform you that I'm working in Indus Hospital & Health Network. I'm noticing, the content of this page is old, not updated, and less information, so I've written down newly updated content with references and citations for e.g which has given below.

In infobox need to change the logo and front view of the hospital image: (Content has given below)

The introduction section should be updated with this content: (Content has given below) The Indus Hospital & Health Network (IHHN) is a non-profit organization with multidisciplinary hospitals spread across Pakistan. The Network is made up of 12 hospitals spread across Sindh and Punjab; four Physical Rehabilitation Centers; four Regional Blood Centers; one of the largest Pediatric Oncology Unit; Primary Care Centers; and a large number of public health initiatives across Pakistan. The Network is continuously expanding in remote areas of Pakistan to reach even more people.

The History section should be updated with this content: (Content has given below) The founder of The Indus Hospital (TIH), Dr. Abdul Bari Khan along with the co-founders served in the public sector hospitals for many years. The idea of a ‘free public hospital’ was conceived after the 1987 Saddar blast at the crowded Bohri Bazaar which killed over 200 people and injured thousands more. The blast killed over 200 people wounded hundreds more, flooding the emergency ward of Civil Hospital, Karachi, and exhausting its capacity.

It was at this time, Dr. Bari envisioned the creation of a multi-disciplinary tertiary care hospital that would serve the population of Karachi for free. The mission began with fundraising, and in 2007 with the assistance of local philanthropists, Dr. Bari and his friends finally raised enough money to establish the 150-bed The Indus Hospital in a building in Korangi. With a mandate to provide Pakistan’s first paperless and cashless hospital, in 2017 evolved into the Indus Hospital & Health Network (IHHN) with hospitals, clinics, and public health outreach programs spread all across Pakistan.

After the Korangi Campus, Sheikh Saeed Memorial Campus and Al-Fakir Trust Campus in PIB Colony joined in. PIB campus exclusively offers dialysis services while the Sheikh Saeed Memorial Campus provides maternal and neonatal services. Later the Al-Ghazi Trust Campus in Bhong, Rahimyar Khan was also brought under the umbrella.

The format and content
Since I have been involved in guiding, then warning you regardig paid editing, I will leave it to others to accept or deny your request,, but I will comment upon the sweeping change that your employer wishes you to make as though I were reviewing it at WP:AFC as a draft.


 * We require prose, not lists
 * We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. Please also see WP:PRIMARY which details the limited permitted usage of primary sources and WP:SELFPUB which has clear limitations on self published sources. Providing sufficient references, ideally one per fact referred to, that meet these tough criteria is likely to allow this article to remain. Lack of them or an inability to find them is likely to mean that the requested edit is not suitable for inclusion, certainly today.
 * What is the list of footnotes at th ebottom? They need to be turned into citations

Had this been submitted as a draft I would have declined it (assuming no mainspace article had been present. My feeling is that you, since you are a self identified paid editor and are receiving a salary for your time on Wikipedia, need to do sbstantially more work on this before you submit edit requests. Our role as volunteers, while we tolerate paid editors under our terms and conditions, is not to do their work for them, your work for you.

You have already replaced the original article with your text more than once, been reverted, and been content blocked from editing this article at all. Your mission, now, is to get it right. Remember, please, that Wilipedia has no imterest in what your employer wnats to happen. It is only interested on well constructed, well referenced, neutral, factual articles.

Requested Edit
Dear editor, As per your request, we have cited the following article. We are also requesting you to make the following minor changes to the existing Wikipedia article since some of the details, names and numbers have been changed. Anything italicized in the existing article has to be removed, changed, and updated. The new edits that have to be made are mentioned in the brackets in front of it. Edits and changes are mentioned in brackets in bold.

Indus Hospital & Health Network The Indus Hospital & Health Network formerly Indus Hospitals is a Network of are '(remove are)' tertiary care multidisciplinary hospitals and healthcare system in Pakistan. Construction began in 2004 and it opened in July 2007. It is located in Korangi. It is the first paperless hospital in the country.; the hospital has an e-cardiology system.[1] '(remove this part)' It is privately run but offers services free of charge. The idea of a "free public hospital" was conceived by four medical students after they visited the 1987 Bohri Bazaar bomb blast site and experienced much frustration by the limited capacity of the nearby Civil Hospital Karachi's emergency ward.

Facilities The hospital itself serves mainly the adjoining areas of Korangi and Landhi with a population of 2.5 million in its 5-kilometer radius. But it also receives patients from the rest of Karachi.[2] This hospital is governed and funded by a philanthropic foundation. Indus Hospital (change to Indus Hospital and Health Network) mainly operates on donations from friends and supporters of its services. It provides free treatment including some medicines.[1] The phase one of this five billion rupee projecthas been (change to was) completed and made functional with 150-bed in-patient accommodation in 2007. In 2014, Indus Hospital treats 1500 patients every day for free.[2] (remove information as this is old information) As of 2020, Indus Hospital and Health Network treats 400,000 patients daily. (add information as this is new and updated)

First paperless hospital in Pakistan It is the first-ever paperless hospital established in Pakistan with a very user-friendly hospital management information system that was developed in-house.[3] All of the medical records including history, examination, investigations, radiological images & reports, electrocardiographies, dialysis sessions, operative notes, nursing record like fluid balance charting and vital signs monitoring, etc. are recorded directly on to the computers with no element of hard copies. "E-cardiology at the Indus Hospital Indus Hospital and Health Network uses text and multimedia messages to transfer information. (remove this information as this is incorrect)

Free artificial limbs facility launched In March 2015, a rehabilitation center for handicapped people was launched. This facility was developed with the help of International Committee of Red Cross and Chal Foundation (Walk Foundation). Between 2,000 and 2,500 artificial limbs will be manufactured and fitted to patients free of cost every year. (remove this information as this old and outdated). The hospital also will (remove will) counsels and trains disabled persons.[5]

Staff •	Abdul Bari Khan (current CEO), Indus Hospital (change to Indus Hospital and Health Network) •	Siddique Shaikh, Chairman in 2015, Indus Hospital (please remove. He is no longer the chairman) •	Abdul Karim Paracha, Indus Hospital and Health Network, ''2020- present (please add the year he was made chairman) '' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.209.80.130 (talk) 11:02, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Oppose major changes without consensus. Apart from considering it unwise to accede to a request from an anonymous IP there are no references whatsoever. Wikipedia has no interest im what the hospiatkl wishes to say about itself, only in what reliable sources say about the hospital.


 * Minor grammatical errors wil be corrected with no requirement to discuss them


 * There is a history of attempts by the org to make promotional edits, so it is good to see this request, but it needs to be qualified properly with references.  Fiddle   Faddle  11:25, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
