The Story Behind SMHS

From one father's grief came a movement of healing. Discover who we are, what we believe, and why we do what we do.

Our Origin

A Father's Love.
A Nation's Hope.

Suraj Medihelpline Services was born from one simple, unshakeable belief: no person should suffer because they can't afford medical care.

Started in Karachi by Pardeep Ochani in the name of his son Suraj Ochani — who fought a brave battle against cancer and passed away at the age of 22 — SMHS began by helping one patient at a time. Paying for medicines, settling hospital bills, arranging wheelchairs and assistive devices for families who had nowhere else to turn.

Today, SMHS is a registered charitable welfare NPO serving all communities across Pakistan without discrimination of caste, colour, or creed. Every case is verified. Every donation is transparent. Every patient is treated with dignity.

"If you can't feed a hundred people, feed just one."

Pardeep Ochani dedicated his life to ensuring no family endures the helplessness he experienced while watching his son Suraj battle cancer. After Suraj's passing in 2023, he channelled his grief into action — founding SMHS and building a network of donors, doctors, hospitals, and volunteers who share the belief that healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Under his leadership, SMHS has assisted over 2,400 patients and raised more than PKR 12 million for medical causes across Pakistan.
