Transparent Hands recently organized a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session at Assemblies of God Church, Youhanabad, Lahore on June 22, 2022. It was held to make it possible for the underprivileged people in the area to access quality health care. Assemblies of God Church supported this free medical camp.

Free consultations and diagnostic tests

A total of 200 patients belonging to impoverished communities received free consultations, hepatitis B & C screenings, diabetes tests, blood pressure tests, and medicines. Our team also distributed free face masks and hand sanitizers.

Preventive healthcare session

Our experts held a preventive healthcare session on water pollution for the attendees at the medical camp. The session focused on water pollution and contamination, the diseases it can cause, and ways to prevent water contamination. All the main precautionary measures we can take to avoid water-borne diseases were discussed as well.

Diseases and treatments

Most of the people who visited the medical camp for consultation were suffering from allergies, cough, chest infections, weakness, diabetes, pains, high blood pressure, gastric problems, flu, and hepatitis. Free medicines were given to a large number of underprivileged patients. Only two patients were advised to undergo surgeries.
