Let’s Fight Prevalent Diseases in Sanghar

Transparent Hands has been delivering essential healthcare services to deserving patients across Pakistan since 2014. Our next destination to organize a medical camp and preventive healthcare session is Sanghar, Sindh. Our efforts align with UN Sustainable Development Goal 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all. Sanghar is a region where residents desperately need our help. Therefore, we plan to uplift low-income communities by providing them with free consultations, lab tests, ultrasound scans, and medicines.

Challenges
Malnutrition is a significant problem among children in Sindh. Moreover, 90,696 cases of vector-borne diseases were recently reported in Sindh.
Limited public hospitals and expensive treatments at private hospitals complicate access to timely interventions. This situation has led to worsening health issues and a decline in quality of life. Moreover, household income is a significant factor in accessing healthcare services, with many residents struggling to afford even basic medical care.

Solution
In response to these challenges, Transparent Hands is organizing a comprehensive medical camp in Sanghar. This initiative is designed to provide a range of free healthcare services. Skilled doctors, nurses, and medical staff will be on-site to provide their expertise with empathy. The following medical services will be provided at a free medical camp in Sanghar.
· General Check-Ups
· Gynecology Check-Ups
· Blood Pressure Check-Ups
· Hepatitis B & C Screenings
· Ultrasound Scans
· BSR (Blood Sugar) Tests
· Uric Acid Tests
· Cholesterol Tests
· Preventive Healthcare Session
· Deserving Surgical/Medical procedure cases will be registered

Preventive Healthcare Session
A key part of this camp will be a preventive healthcare session to educate residents about one of the common health issues in the area. Our goal is to empower individuals with knowledge that promotes healthy lifestyle choices and early detection of health issues.
