The Malwani Health Care and Public Service Centre, a non-profit organisation focused on community welfare, has launched an eco-friendly initiative that links environmental responsibility with public health support. The centre has installed Plastic Bottle Recycle Boxes outside its clinic in Malwani, encouraging residents to drop off empty bottles instead of throwing them on the streets.

Under the initiative, citizens who contribute to the recycling effort receive free medicines for common ailments such as fever, body pain, cough, cold, and headaches. The idea is simple and impactful: people deposit plastic bottles, and in return, the organisation provides medicines to those who need them. The campaign, titled Plastic Do, Muft Mein Dawai Lo Social Drive, was conceptualised by Hussain Shaikh, founder of the Malwani Health Care and Public Service Centre, popularly known in the area as Healthbuddy.
