Challenges
Gopi Rāi, a densely populated town in Lahore, encounters various health challenges that demand attention. The high population density contributes to the spread of infectious diseases, while limited access to healthcare and preventive care exacerbates the situation. Additionally, there is a heightened risk of non-communicable diseases in the community. Environmental factors and the lack of sufficient maternal, child, and mental health services further contribute to the health issues faced by the residents. Our initiative has taken to address these concerns by providing crucial medical services, consultations, and health education tailored to meet the specific needs of the community.
Our Solution
Our free medical camp in Lahore aims to help patients in need by providing them with essential medical services. Our medical team will conduct free check-ups, offer medicines, and perform diagnostic tests. We will also assist patients requiring surgeries or further treatment by registering at one of our panel hospitals. Your donations can make a meaningful impact on the lives of deserving individuals in need of medical care.
Transparent Hands recently held a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session on June 7, 2024, at Rising Sun, Al Hafeez Garden, Canal Road, Lahore. The main purpose of this camp is to provide the much-needed medical assistance to deserving communities, ensuring they receive the best medical care.
