Multiple Sclerosis - help Pakistani Patients by sending medicines

I heard from someone about a disease called MS or Multiple Sclerosis, so I decided to search about it. I looked it up on the internet, and it's a scary disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, resulting in loss of muscle control, vision, balance and you feel numbness if you touch anything, i.e., loss of sensation. This is called an autoimmune disease. The body immune system destroys the harmful bacteria, but mistakenly it attacks normal tissues or organs. MS attacks the brain and spinal cord.

This horrifying disease is common in young, according to what I have heard, in Pakistan.  There are many medications of this MS, but only one medicine is available and made in Pakistan, which is hard for the poor people to afford and even if we do import it from a foreign country, people will not be able to afford the medicines, because one month's medicine will cost a fortune for them. I request to any organization, if there is any, to send Pakistan medications for this scary disease, to send it to Aga Khan University hospital so it can send the medications for MS at an affordable prize, because it is one of the best hospital in the country, and it helps poor people if they are not able to afford medications and stuff like that, for that I really appreciate. Pleased help these people and the younger generation of Pakistan.
