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 554 deserving patients and their families. Matta is a small village in Swat. Due to its remote location, many needy individuals could not access quality healthcare. Therefore, they were awaiting essential treatments. Through this free medical camp, they received much-needed medical care, hoping to get relief from their chronic diseases.

We provided free medical consultations, eye examinations, medications, diagnostic tests, and free eyeglasses to patients suffering from eyesight issues. For the residents of Matta, timely diagnosis of different diseases meant that they could begin essential treatments to prevent their health conditions from becoming severe.

Through your contributions, we were able to extend comprehensive healthcare to the low-income communities in Chuprial, Matta. We are incredibly grateful to you for helping us in this mission.

Medical Team

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