Improve Health Outcomes for the Underprivileged in Sanghar
Transparent Hands plans to organize a free medical camp and a preventive healthcare session to extend medical support to needy patients in Sanghar. The city’s residents face considerable challenges in accessing quality healthcare. High healthcare costs further challenge the situation, leaving low-income families unable to afford necessary medical services. Therefore, we have planned to organize a medical camp in this area where patients will obtain free consultations, medicines, lab tests, and treatments.
Challenges:
Many patients in Sanghar lack access to basic healthcare, suffering from preventable diseases that are often left untreated. The absence of specialized healthcare providers means that patients frequently receive inadequate treatments, resulting in poor health outcomes.
The commonly reported diseases in Sanghar are diarrhea, malaria, and numerous respiratory illnesses. Moreover, Hepatitis B and dengue fever are also critical health concerns in Sanghar.
Solution:
To tackle these health issues faced by the underprivileged communities in Sanghar, Transparent Hands is going to organize a free medical camp there. We are committed to our mission to provide care and relief to the maximum number of people possible. This camp will support the treatments of poor people, ensuring no one would be left behind due to financial limitations. Our highly qualified medical team of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, volunteers, and technicians will provide the following free medical services:
· General Check-Ups
· Gynecology Check-Ups
· Blood Pressure Check-Ups
· Hepatitis B & C Screenings
· Uric Acid Tests
· Cholesterol Tests
· BSR (Blood Sugar) Tests
· Preventive Healthcare Session
· Deserving Surgical/Medical procedure cases will be registered
Preventive Healthcare Session:
To support long-term health and wellness, this upcoming medical camp will also include a preventive healthcare session. Our goal is to provide health-related information to needy individuals in Sanghar, encouraging them to adopt essential preventive measures to lead a healthy life.
Make an Impact:
We need your support in offering quality healthcare to impoverished communities in Sanghar. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, can bring a significant difference in the lives of countless individuals in Sanghar.
