At the outset, the Moul Mouj Foundation team extends heartfelt thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement, especially considering that we began just a month ago. We’ve received numerous inquiries, calls, and emails about the Moul Mouj Initiative, which we are happy to address. To be precise, the Moul Mouj Foundation (MMF) is a charitable initiative dedicated to honoring and caring for the senior members of our community, particularly our parents, who have shaped our lives.

Moul Mouj Health Centre (MMHC) is a dedicated clinic for seniors, offering significant discounts on consultations, medications and tests, regardless of financial status. We provide a Moul Mouj Privilege Card to all seniors, granting them access to these discounts. For those who are underprivileged due to elder abuse, neglect or financial dependence, MMHC offers a lifetime privilege card, ensuring free consultations, medicines and in-house tests for life.

The clinic is aimed to provide Holistic Health for senior citizens and treating the common diseases in elderly that includes high blood pressure, diabetes, urinary problems, prostate problems, heart diseases, neurological problems (Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease), memory loss, sleep disorders, gastroenterological problems, musculo-skeletol pain, osteoporosis, gout, various infections and chest diseases. Beside physical problems, the senior citizens will be counseled for their mental stress, social problems, sense of loneliness and isolation.

We also provide mental health counseling to address stress, loneliness, and isolation, creating individualized care plans to maintain independence and enhance quality of life. Caregivers are also counseled to prevent caregiver burnout. We also offer recreational activities, meeting spaces and refreshments for seniors at a reduced price in our conference hall.
