Improve Health Outcomes for the Needy in Bubak
Transparent Hands is committed to its mission to help numerous deserving patients by arranging free medical camps annually. This time, we are going to arrange a free medical camp and preventive healthcare session in Bubak to facilitate the underprivileged communities. Bubak is a small town with limited healthcare resources, leaving many people with untreated health issues. We aim to help needy people by providing them with free consultations, diagnostic tests, ultrasound scans as well as medications.
Challenges
In Bubak, the residents face significant challenges in accessing healthcare due to a shortage of medical facilities and financial hardships. People often travel long distances for even medical consultations. This barrier sometimes leaves their health issues undiagnosed, negatively impacting their quality of life.

This free medical camp will offer consultations, diagnostic services, and medications to address these challenges. Our doctors will screen for common conditions, ensuring patients receive timely treatments for infections and chronic diseases. Overall, this camp will play a crucial role in making healthcare accessible to the needy people of Bubak. Following medical services will be provided at our free medical camp in Bubak.
