Free Medical Camp Prevented and Eradicated Communicable Diseases in Karachi

Transparent Hands took a significant step towards providing accessible health care to underprivileged patients by organizing a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session. This took place on February 25, 2024, at Al-Ilm Schooling System in Khokhrapar No. 5, Malir, Karachi.

Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests

A total of 576 deserving patients received free consultations with expert doctors. They were also provided with free medicines, diabetes tests, screenings for hepatitis B & C, hepatitis B vaccinations, malaria tests, cholesterol checkups, blood pressure checkups, and a total of 72 diagnostic tests, all at no cost.

Preventive Healthcare Session 

One of our expert doctors conducted a preventive healthcare session by emphasizing the importance of practicing good hygiene, which is crucial for maintaining overall good health. 

Diseases and Treatments

Most of the patients who sought consultation were suffering from fever, sore throat, cough, flu, toothache, earache, chest congestion, skin rashes/infection, high blood pressure, hepatitis C, muscle stiffness, mouth blisters, heartburn, feet numbness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, diabetes, and body pain. 

Impact

The impact of the free medical camp in Karachi resonated deeply with 576 deserving patients and their families, providing them with a lifeline to essential healthcare services that would have otherwise been out of reach due to financial constraints. By offering free medical consultations and diagnostic tests, the camp effectively addressed the immediate healthcare needs of the patients, leaving a lasting positive impact.

Furthermore, the camp went beyond mere medical care by conducting preventive healthcare sessions that proved to be invaluable. These sessions played a pivotal role in raising awareness among attendees, empowering them to prioritize their health and take proactive measures to prevent medical conditions.
