Challenge:

When a young man arrived at the medical camp organized by Transparent Hands in Wazirabad in April 2019, he was certain that he would die because of hepatitis C. He was looking extremely tired and complained of sore muscles, fever, joint pain, nausea and stomach pain. When he knew that his disease is curable with the help of medicines over a period of a few months, he couldn’t believe it. There were a few other patients with the same condition who were diagnosed with HCV in the camp.

Hepatitis has now become the global public health issue with the number increasing alarmingly in Pakistan especially in Punjab. According to a report, around 11 million people are suffering from HCV across Pakistan and the majority is unaware of this disease. Due to poor socioeconomic state and lack of awareness in rural areas of Pakistan, hepatitis is increasing day by day and Wazirabad is no exception. The main causes of HCV here include; unsafe medical procedures, unsafe blood transfusion, unhygienic instruments such as used razors and syringes etc.

Our Solution:

While prevention is the key to fight these diseases, access to better healthcare facilities is essential to save the lives of those affected with viral infections. Transparent Hands is determined to alleviate the sufferings of the rural community in Wazirabad, Punjab by providing them free and quality healthcare services and Hepatitis screening.

To ensure that the required healthcare is provided to the deserving patients, we need your support. Donate for our medical camp and be a part of our life-saving mission!


Transparent Hands recently held a free medical camp in Islamic Centre Model Colony, Wazirabad on June 13, 2022. It was organized with the vision to provide quality health care to the most underprivileged and deserving patients. Alkhidmat Foundation supported this medical camp.

Free consultations and diagnostic tests

A total of 186 patients belonging to vulnerable and impoverished communities received free consultations. Medicines, blood sugar tests, Hepatitis B & C tests, and blood pressure tests were also provided free of charge.

Diseases and treatments

Most of the patients who sought consultation were suffering from hepatitis C, allergies, cough, weakness, fever, diabetes, pains, high blood pressure, gastric problems, and flu. Free medicines were given to a large number of deserving patients. Only four patients were advised to undergo surgeries.

Awareness session

An awareness session about family health and hygiene was also held by a female doctor for mothers and children that attended the medical camp. All COVID SOPs such as wearing face masks, hand sanitization, and social distancing were followed at the medical camp. In addition, the patients received face masks and hand sanitizers free of charge.

Impact

The free medical camp in Nankana Sahib made a difference in the lives of over 180 patients and their families. In 2022, Transparent Hands aims to arrange 100 free medical camps across Pakistan.
