Challenges
Gadap Town, located near Agha Khan Hospital in Karachi, is a densely populated area with a significant Afghan refugee population. Overcrowding and poor sanitation facilities in the area are contributing to the spread of communicable diseases. Lack of proper hygiene practices and limited access to clean water and sanitation infrastructure increase the risk of diseases such as diarrhea, respiratory infections, and vector-borne illnesses like dengue fever and malaria.
Our Solution
This free medical camp and preventive healthcare session will help Afghan refugees residing in Karachi who are in urgent need of access to quality healthcare. We believe that it is essential for these deserving individuals to learn about the signs, symptoms, and diagnosis of a wide range of health issues through informative sessions like these. By raising awareness, we hope to empower them to adopt healthy habits and maintain their well-being throughout their lives. Our dedicated team of doctors and specialists will be available to provide free consultations, medication, and diagnostic tests during the medical camps. For those requiring surgeries or other medical treatments, Transparent Hands will register them and facilitate their referral to our panel hospitals. We are fully equipped with advanced medical resources and committed to providing comprehensive care to Afghan refugees who are unable to afford medical services. Your generous donations to this cause will greatly benefit these deserving individuals.

Impact
