Extend Quality Healthcare to the Needy in Taunsa Sharif
Transparent Hands is organizing a free medical camp in Taunsa Sharif to provide much-needed medical support to this underdeveloped region. Taunsa Sharif is a city where many needy individuals are unable to access timely medical care and they are awaiting necessary treatments. We are devoted to our mission to help underprivileged people by providing them with free consultations, diagnostic tests as well as medications.
Challenges
Taunsa Sharif, located in a remote part of Punjab, faces significant healthcare challenges. The town has inadequate medical facilities, and residents often have to travel long distances for basic care. Financial barriers prevent many underprivileged people from seeking timely medical help, especially for chronic diseases.
Some common health issues faced by the residents in Taunsa Sharif include malfunctions, constipation, and cough. Moreover, celiac disease and grave disease are also prevalent.
Solution
To address these challenges, Transparent Hands is stepping in to offer a solution. Our free medical camp will provide general check-ups, consultations, and diagnostic services. For those in need of more specialized treatments, referrals to our panel hospitals will be arranged. Medicines will be distributed free of cost to patients, ensuring that they receive the care they need without financial strain. We will provide the following free healthcare services at the camp.
· General Check-Ups
· Gynecology Check-Ups
· Ultrasound Scans
· Blood Pressure Check-Ups
· Hepatitis B & C Screenings
· Uric Acid Tests
· Cholesterol Tests
· BSR (Blood Sugar) Tests

· Deserving Surgical/Medical procedure cases will be registered
Preventive Healthcare Session
In addition, a preventive healthcare session will be conducted to educate the community about one of the common health issues in Taunsa Sharif. Attendees will get valuable information about the causes, risk factors, and timely management of the disease. This will empower residents to take better care of their health and prevent illnesses from spreading.
