SHIFAA Pakistan (no relation to Shifa Intl Hospital) is a good example on how technology can assist the people of Pakistan with the most basic of requirements which are currently not adequately provided. They have created a portal through which the people can connect to medical facilities in Karachi, and are expanding into other major cities as well.

This portal brings together the citizens and professionals where they can communicate and exchange information related to them. It is not only a information resource for users but an effective management tool for health care professionals. One of the interesting parts of the site lets people register as blood donors and get notified via email in case there is a need for blood donations. Later they want to expand these services on a UAN number so that they are easily accessible.
