Let’s Provide Medical Relief to the Needy in Kotri

Transparent Hands plans to organize a free medical camp to provide medical assistance to impoverished people in Kotri. We have identified Kotri as an area where many people are unable to access quality medical care due to limited healthcare facilities. Through this medical camp, we aim to uplift low-income communities and provide them with free medicines, consultations, and diagnostic tests.

Challenges:

Kotri is a densely populated area of Sindh. However, its residents face many challenges in accessing adequate health facilities. In Kotri, a significant proportion of the population belongs to low-income families. Therefore, they can’t afford the treatments at private hospitals.
Some common health issues faced by the residents of Kotri are hypertension, diabetes, and gastrointestinal issues. Moreover, malaria and respiratory infections are also prevalent.

Solution:

To address these health issues faced by needy people in Kotri, we are going to arrange a free medical camp, where hundreds of patients will access essential medical support. They will get free consultations, medications as well as lab tests. Our team of doctors, nurses, technicians, and volunteers will offer the following free healthcare services at our upcoming free medical camp in Kotri.

· 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

To raise awareness regarding one of the common health issues in Kotri, our doctors will hold a preventive healthcare session. The doctors will discuss various aspects of the disease. It will empower the community with knowledge to manage the disease.
