We Brought Quality Healthcare to Shamozai

Transparent Hands recently arranged a free medical and eye camp to make quality healthcare available to underprivileged patients. The free medical camp was held on August 7th, 2024 in Shamozai, Swat, KPK. The aim was to provide necessary medical services to those who were suffering from treatable diseases and unable to access on-time medical interventions.

Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests

A total of 420 deserving patients received free medical consultations from our qualified doctors. General check-ups, medicines, ultrasound scans, blood pressure check-ups, diabetes tests, uric acid tests, hepatitis B & C screenings, PCR, and cholesterol tests were provided at the camp. Moreover, free eyeglasses were also given to a large number of patients who had eyesight issues. Here is a summary of different diagnostic tests provided at the free medical camp.

Diseases and Treatments  

Most of the patients who received consultations were suffering from flu, allergies, scabies, fever, diabetes, body pains, cough, cataract, pterygium, eye infections, and stomach issues. Free medications were also given to a large number of deserving patients.

Impact

The free medical camp made a difference in the lives of 420 deserving patients. The residents of Shamozai were struggling with inadequate healthcare facilities. Due to the limited number of hospitals, the residents had little to no options for proper medical check-ups and treatments. This free medical camp catered to the health needs of the diverse community of Shamozai. 

Additionally, the distribution of free medicines ensured that patients who were suffering from financial constraints could manage their health conditions free of charge. The success of this camp was made possible through the support of kind donors like you. Your contributions enabled us to extend healthcare to the needy in Shamozai. We are grateful for your generosity.

Medical Camp Team

The medical camp team consisted of 24 members, including two camp managers, two doctors (one male and one female),  2 lab technicians,  2 optometrists, 2 pharmacists, 12 crew members,  one staff nurse, and one photographer.
