Diseases and Treatments

At the free medical camp in Quetta, 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.

Impact

The free medical camp made a difference in the lives of 572 deserving patients and their families. Limited health facilities and overwhelmed public hospitals prevent many individuals from seeking timely medical care in Quetta. This medical camp helped in identifying and treating medical conditions which contributed to reducing health-related complications. Patients received free consultations, lab tests, screenings, and medicines, improving their health outcomes.

Moreover, health education was lacking in the city which led to a decline in health standards. Our preventive healthcare session provided valuable insights and empowered residents to adopt preventive measures for a healthy life.

We are incredibly grateful to you for supporting us in organizing this medical camp. You truly helped us in extending much-needed medical support to deserving patients in Quetta.

Medical Camp Team

The medical camp team consisted of 15 members, including two supervisors, 3 doctors (two males and one female), 2 lab technicians, 2 pharmacists, 4 patient registrars, 1 photographer, and 1 driver.
