Preventive Healthcare Session

An expert doctor conducted a preventive healthcare session for the attendees. The session emphasized the importance of personal hygiene and its impact on overall health. The doctors discussed the potential health risks associated with poor personal hygiene and provided attendees with information on how to improve their hygiene practices to prevent such issues. The session aimed to increase awareness among attendees regarding the importance of personal hygiene and promote healthier practices.

Impact 

The free medical camp held in Matiari, Sindh, was a major success, providing essential health services to 360 deserving patients and their families.

In addition, the camp offered screening test services and preventive healthcare sessions to help educate attendees about preventing future illnesses and managing chronic conditions. The camp also made a significant impact on the lives of those who attended, providing them with the necessary medical attention and knowledge to stay healthy in the future.
