The Masjid-e-Ishaq will have a full-fledged primary health centre managed by a team of paramedics and doctors. 

The initiative of the masjid committee and the Helping Hand Foundation will ensure that about roughly 1.5 lakh population in the area will get access to primary health care.

The centre has come up on 1,000 square feet area on the ground floor of the Masjid-e-Ishaq. 

It is for the first time any masjid has offered such a huge space for such a facility. Meanwhile, the remaining two upper floors of the mosque will be used for offering prayers and other religious activity.
