Transparent Hands recently held a free medical camp at the District Bar Association, Nankana Sahib on June 10, 2022. It was organized with the vision to provide quality health care to the most deserving patients. The District Bar Association supported this medical camp.

Free consultations and diagnostic tests

A total of 144 patients belonging to vulnerable and impoverished communities received free consultations. Medicines, blood sugar tests, Hepatitis B & C tests, and blood pressure tests were also provided free of charge. We also distributed free face masks and hand sanitizers.

Diseases and treatments

Most of the patients who sought consultation were suffering from hepatitis C, allergies, cough, chest infection, fever, diabetes, pains, high blood pressure, gastric problems, and flu. Free medicines were given to a large number of deserving patients. Only one patient was advised to undergo surgery.
