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 handed out 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 intestinal worms and skin allergies.

Impact

The free medical camp made a difference in the lives of 588 deserving patients and their families. In Lyari, financial constraints prevented many underprivileged patients from accessing even basic medical checkups. This free camp became a source of hope for them, enabling them to receive free consultations, lab tests, medicines, as well as treatments. We provided Lyari’s residents with preventive healthcare and ensured that needy patients could get timely diagnoses and treatments. This has significantly improved their health and well-being. 

Additionally, a preventive healthcare session raised awareness among the residents regarding some common health issues. This way, they can protect themselves from illness. 

All this was made possible through your generous support.

Medical Camp Team

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