NATIONAL HEALTH FORUM FEATURED IN NEW YORK TIMES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 13, 2009 --

On July 18th, 2009, The New York Times Op-Ed columnist Nicholas Kristof published a feature on the efforts of Dr. Shershah Syed, an obstetrician in Karachi. The NYT column lauded his endeavor to treat impoverished women of Pakistan. Dr. Shershah Syed specializes in repair of vesico-vaginal fistula, an abnormal connection between urinary bladder and vagina, which renders females incontinent and socially stigmatized. National Health Forum was mentioned in the article as an IRS registered non-profit organization, which helps medical charities such as Dr. Shershah Syed’s Koohi Goth Hospital. NHF received an overwhelming response on Mr. Kristof’s blog and received a donation of over $11,000 from readers of New York Times. The donations would be transferred to Koohi Goth Hospital in compliance of the IRS regulations. We are grateful to Nicholas Kristof for demonstrating the exigency of common Pakistanis.

To contact National Health Forum; NHF's address is PO Box 240093, St. Louis, MO 63024 and email address is nationalhealthforum@gmail.com.
