Transparent Hands recently held another free medical camp with the vision to provide quality health care to deserving patients. The medical camp was organized at Muhammadi Masjid, Lasi Para, Street 3, Baldia Town, Hub River Road, Karachi, on February 19, 2022.

Free consultations and diagnostic tests

A total of 412 deserving patients received free consultations. Medicines as well as blood sugar and blood pressure tests were also provided free of charge. Some of these patients were registered by Transparent Hands for further surgical or medical treatments.

The medical camp was organized and managed by Transparent Hands. The medical camp team consisted of 24 members, including a supervisor, four doctors (two males and two females), two nurses (one female and two males), four pharmacists, four patient registrars, a photographer, and eight crew workers.

Awareness session

An awareness session about hygiene and cleanliness was also held for the patients and attendees. All COVID SOPs such as wearing face masks, hand sanitization, and social distancing were followed at the medical camp. In addition, the patients received face masks and hand sanitizers free of charge.

Diseases and treatments

Most of the patients who sought consultation were suffering from flu, cough, fever, diabetes, pains, hypertension, gastric problems, and allergies. Free medicines were given to a large number of deserving patients. Only four patients were advised to undergo surgeries. Transparent Hands has registered their cases and they will be treated at a panel hospital in Karachi.
