Challenge:

Communicable or infectious diseases are various kinds of illnesses that occur due to transmission of a specific infectious agent (or its toxic products) from an infected person, animal or inanimate source to a susceptible host, either directly or indirectly. The underprivileged localities of Pakistan are densely populated, which leaves individuals with no choice but to exist and coexist in close proximity with each other.  In such living conditions, proximity is a major factor responsible for the spread of communicable diseases. 

Due to poor socioeconomic state and lack of awareness in rural areas of Pakistan, communicable diseases remain a big challenge that should be resolved as quickly as possible. Moreover, saturation of patients at public hospitals, and provision of limited health care facilities, leaves most diseases unnoticed and untreated for long periods of time. It is common knowledge that poor living standards result in adverse effects on general health and wellbeing of the residents, causing short-term illnesses such as eye, nose, and throat infections, Hepatitis, Diabetes and Hypertension. Over time, the mentioned illnesses have the potential of becoming chronic. 

Moreover, the prime issue that needs to be highlighted and addressed in Union Council Labarkot and Union Council Anayatabad Mansehra, KPK, is the spread of communicable diseases like upper respiratory infections which include (ARTIs, TB, Bronchitis, Asthma, etc), skin diseases like (scabies, fungal infection, dermatitis, etc), gynecological issues, malnutrition for mother and child, hematological issues like (anemia, etc). Presently, though the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government has distributed Health cards to its citizens, COVID-19 has added another dimension to the pre-existing challenges. The public health sector remains burdened to its maximum capacity making access to basic health care a great difficulty. 

Our Solution:

While prevention is the key to fight these diseases, access to better healthcare facilities is essential to save the lives of those already affected. By organizing one-day medical camps at Union Council Labarkot and Union Council Anayatabad Mansehra, KPK, Transparent Hands is determined to alleviate the sufferings of the deserving patients. We look forward to providing free consultation and medicines to deserving patients of both localities. Critical cases including patients who require undergoing surgeries will be registered with Transparent Hands for free treatment. Team Transparent Hands is determined in bringing quality healthcare facilities to the residents of the said localities.

Donate for our upcoming medical camp at Union Council Labarkot and Union Council Anayatabad Mansehra, KPK, and help hundreds of individuals in acquiring a healthier life.
