Bring Free Healthcare Services to the Needy in Laspur, Chitral

Transparent Hands plans to arrange a free medical camp to extend essential medical support to deserving patients in Laspur, Chitral. This is a city famous for its exceptional natural beauty, which is a point of attraction for many tourists. However, the residents face significant challenges when it comes to accessing quality medical care. The primary objective of organizing this medical camp is to provide a wide range of medical services, including consultations, lab tests, ultrasound scans, and medicines.

Challenges
Despite the natural charm of the area, Laspur is underserved in terms of healthcare. The valley lacks well-equipped hospitals, and the shortage of skilled health professionals makes it challenging for residents to receive timely and specialized care.
The remote location and lack of transportation options force many patients to either delay treatment or go without it altogether. These barriers contribute to worsening health conditions like typhoid, tuberculosis, chickenpox, malaria, and fungal diseases.

Solution
To bring relief to these residents, Transparent Hands is conducting a free medical camp that will provide a wide range of healthcare services. Our experienced team of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and volunteers will be present to ensure every patient receives quality care. From basic screenings to free medications, this camp will provide the kind of medical support that many in Laspur cannot afford or access. The following healthcare services will be delivered at our free medical camp in Chitral.
General Physician Consultations
Gynecological Examinations
Ultrasound Scans
Blood Pressure Checkups
Blood Sugar Tests
Hepatitis B & C Screenings
Cholesterol and Uric Acid Tests
Distribution of Free Medicines
Registration for Further Medical or Surgical Treatment
Preventive Healthcare Session

Preventive Healthcare Session

This initiative cannot succeed without your help. Your generous donations can bring critical healthcare services to the people of Laspur, Chitral.
