Preventive Healthcare Session

Our expert doctors held a preventive healthcare session for the attendees at the free medical camp in Kotri. The session focused on personal hygiene. The doctors shared valuable insights on healthy lifestyle choices and improving personal hygiene.

Diseases and Treatments

At the free medical camp in Kotri, most of the patients who received consultations were suffering from skin allergies, fever, diabetes, body pains, hypertension, gastric problems, cough, flu, and weakness. Moreover, free medicines were also given to a large number of deserving patients.

Impact

The free medical camp positively impacted the lives of 695 needy patients and their families. The low-income communities of this region struggled with inadequate health infrastructure, and many residents didn’t have access to essential health services. By organizing a free medical camp, our team of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and lab technicians provided free check-ups, diagnostic tests, and medicines to deserving patients. It helped them in the early diagnosis and treatments for various health conditions, improving health outcomes for the population.

To raise awareness among the local communities in Kotri regarding the importance of personal hygiene, our doctors held a preventive healthcare session. This approach empowered the residents to protect themselves from various illnesses by maintaining cleanliness, thus enhancing their quality of life.

Medical Camp Team

The medical camp team consisted of 16 members, including 2 supervisors, 4 doctors (2 males & 2 females), 2 lab technicians, 2 pharmacists, 4 patient registrars, 1 photographer, and 1 driver.
