Ensure a Healthy Future for the Needy in Shamozai
Transparent Hands plans to arrange a free medical camp to help the underprivileged community of Shamozai. Due to inadequate medical facilities, the residents are experiencing several health issues. We aim to address their immediate health needs and improve their quality of life. We will support the needy patients of Shamozai with free medications, diagnostic tests, and check-ups.
Challenges:
Shamozai, a rural area in KPK, lacks many essential medical facilities. Due to this, it is challenging for the residents of this area to access on-time medical care, resulting in untreated illnesses and poor health outcomes.
In Bahrain, people are facing several health issues, including respiratory diseases, diabetes, and hypertension. Unfortunately, due to the lack of healthcare facilities, deserving patients are unable to acquire proper check-ups and treatments.
Solution:
To bridge the gaps in the healthcare sector of this area, Transparent Hands will arrange a free medical camp for the underserved community. Hundreds of needy patients will benefit from this free healthcare camp. Our dedicated medical team of doctors, nurses, and volunteers will provide the following free services:
· Eye Glasses
· Eye Check-Ups
· Gynecology Check-Ups
· Ultrasound Scans
· General Check-Ups
· Lab Tests including:
– Hepatitis B & C Screenings
– Uric Acid Tests
– Cholesterol Tests
– BSR (Blood Sugar) Tests

· Deserving Surgical/Medical procedure cases will be registered
Preventive Healthcare Session:
Transparent Hands will hold a preventive healthcare session to address the common health issues faced by the residents of Shamozai.

Transparent Hands recently arranged a free medical and eye camp to make quality healthcare available to underprivileged patients. The free medical camp was held on August 7th, 2024 in Shamozai, Swat, KPK. The aim was to provide necessary medical services to those who were suffering from treatable diseases and unable to access on-time medical interventions.
Free Consultations, Medicines, and Diagnostic Tests
A total of 420 deserving patients received free medical consultations from our qualified doctors. General check-ups, medicines, ultrasound scans, blood pressure check-ups, diabetes tests, uric acid tests, hepatitis B & C screenings, PCR, and cholesterol tests were provided at the camp. Moreover, free eyeglasses were also given to a large number of patients who had eyesight issues. Here is a summary of different diagnostic tests provided at the free medical camp.

Diseases and Treatments
Most of the patients who received consultations were suffering from flu, allergies, scabies, fever, diabetes, body pains, cough, cataract, pterygium, eye infections, and stomach issues. Free medications were also given to a large number of deserving patients.
Impact
The free medical camp made a difference in the lives of 420 deserving patients. The residents of Shamozai were struggling with inadequate healthcare facilities. Due to the limited number of hospitals, the residents had little to no options for proper medical check-ups and treatments. This free medical camp catered to the health needs of the diverse community of Shamozai.
Additionally, the distribution of free medicines ensured that patients who were suffering from financial constraints could manage their health conditions free of charge. The success of this camp was made possible through the support of kind donors like you. Your contributions enabled us to extend healthcare to the needy in Shamozai. We are grateful for your generosity.
Medical Camp Team
The medical camp team consisted of 24 members, including two camp managers, two doctors (one male and one female), 2 lab technicians, 2 optometrists, 2 pharmacists, 12 crew members, one staff nurse, and one photographer.
