The Ibn Sina Foundation was established in 2001 by a group of local physicians, business and healthcare professionals. The vision was to bridge the growing gap between the health care needs of a rapidly expanding population of under-served families and the ability of existing public institutions to meet their needs. Ibn Sina Foundation’s humble beginnings are of extra ordinary measures for low income and indigent families who have no access to health care and cannot afford expensive health related services. The Foundation started with one part time staff for 4 hours in 2002 who was paid through borrowed funding from a donor. Currently there are more than 90 staff members. Over the period of 15 years the Foundation has served more than 750,000 patients and we anticipate serving 80,000 patients this year. Ibn Sina Foundation has completed many projects and programs successfully with public and private partnership. These programs are sustainable and are affordable. Ibn Sina focuses on prevention and control of diseases at early stage.
