Transparent Hands, with the sponsorship of the Network of Organizations Working for Persons with Disabilities, Pakistan (NOWPDP), recently organized a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session to provide quality healthcare services to deserving patients in Karachi. The free medical camp was held on February 19, 2025, at Urban Health Center, Sajan Colony, Baldia Town, Karachi.

Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests

A total of 714 deserving patients received free consultations from our expert doctors. Medicines, general check-ups, blood pressure check-ups, diabetes tests, uric acid tests, hepatitis B & C screenings, and cholesterol tests were provided free of cost. Here is a summary of the different diagnostic tests provided at the free medical camp in Baldia town, Karachi.

Diseases and Treatments

Most of the patients who received consultations were suffering from flu, skin allergies, scabies, fever, diabetes, body pains, cough, and stomach issues. Moreover, free medicines were given to a large number of deserving patients.

Preventive Healthcare Session

Our expert doctors held a preventive healthcare session for the attendees at the free medical camp. The session focused on the prevention and management of scabies and personal hygiene for disabled people.

Impact

The free medical camp made a difference in the lives of 714 deserving patients in Karachi. It brought much-needed relief to underprivileged patients who had been suffering due to a lack of access to healthcare. Many were experiencing health issues but could not afford medical consultations or treatment. This camp provided them with free check-ups, medications, and expert medical advice, helping them address their health concerns. Additionally, we held a preventive healthcare session on scabies and personal hygiene specifically for disabled individuals, which empowered them with the knowledge to maintain cleanliness and prevent infections. 

The camp not only treated illnesses but also restored hope, ensuring that needy patients received the care they deserved. 

Medical Camp Team

The medical camp team consisted of 17 members, including one supervisor, 4 doctors (2 males and 2 females), 2 lab technicians, 2 pharmacists, 4 patient registrars, 2 crew members, 1 photographer, and 1 driver.
