Your Support Changed the Lives of Needy Patients in Kasur

On 20th September 2024, Transparent Hands, with the collaboration of the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF), Soorty Foundation & Association for Gender Awareness and Human Empowerment (AGAHE), organized a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session in Mokal Village, Kasur. The primary objective of this camp was to provide essential medical assistance to the underserved community of Kasur.

Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests

A total of 407 deserving patients received free consultations from our expert doctors. Medicines, general check-ups, blood pressure check-ups, dental check-ups, ultrasound scans, diabetes tests, uric acid tests, and hepatitis B & C screenings were provided free of cost. Here is a summary of different diagnostic tests provided at the free medical camp in Kasur.

Most Common Diseases Treated

At the free medical camp, patients received consultations for a variety of health issues, including but not limited to:

• Fever, cough, flu, and chest congestion
• Seasonal allergies and scabies
• Asthma, backache, and joint pain
• Migraine and kidney problems
• Diabetes and high blood pressure
• Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and acidity

Preventive Healthcare Session

In addition to the medical services, our expert doctors delivered a preventive healthcare session to educate the attendees about Dental Hygiene. They were given knowledge about the maintenance of oral health, and how regular dental exams and thorough cleanings are crucial, as they keep teeth and gums in optimal condition and help detect problems early.

Impact

This free medical camp had a significant impact on the lives of 407 needy patients. With limited access to health facilities, many families in Kasur were unable to seek timely medical attention. By providing free consultations, medicines, and diagnostic tests, we addressed the necessary health needs of the community.

Women, children, and the elderly particularly benefited, receiving treatment for conditions that had long been neglected. The camp not only treated existing illnesses but also raised awareness about the importance of early detection and regular check-ups for oral issues. 

The success of this camp was made possible through the generous support of donors, whose contributions continue to fuel our mission of providing quality healthcare to underprivileged people. We extend our deepest gratitude for your support.
