Impact 

The recent free medical camp organized by Transparent Hands has had a transformative impact on the lives of 510 deserving patients and their families. By providing comprehensive healthcare services, including free medications, diagnostic tests, and preventive healthcare sessions, the camp has brought about profound and heartfelt changes in the lives of these underserved individuals.

Beyond just addressing their immediate medical needs, the camp has also fostered a deep sense of compassion and understanding among the patients. They have not only received the crucial care they required but have also felt the genuine concern and support of the medical team, which has touched their hearts.

The free availability of medicines has not only alleviated the financial burden on these patients but has also instilled a profound sense of security, knowing that their health is being prioritized. Furthermore, the diagnostic tests conducted during the camp have not only identified underlying health issues, but have also provided a sense of relief, as early detection can lead to more effective treatment outcomes.

The medical camp team consisted of 13 members, including one supervisor,  four doctors (two males and two females),  one lab technician,  one pharmacist, two patient registrars, 2 crew members,  one staff nurse, and one photographer. Additionally, two optometrists from Allah Waly Trust and 3 lab technicians from The health foundation also joined the camp.
