Problems & Our Solutions
The management in Sialkot has been working well to ensure necessary healthcare for the residents of the area, but there are still some challenges that the poor people face. One of the major challenges faced by the people of Salanke village is the high cost of medical treatments and diagnostic tests. Many of them cannot afford to pay for these services, and as a result, their health conditions often go untreated. Transparent Hands’ solution to this problem is to provide free medical services and treatments to the people of this area. We aim to help those who cannot afford to pay for their medical needs and provide them with access to quality healthcare services.
In addition to providing free medical services and treatments, Transparent Hands will also be offering free medicines to the people of Salanke village. This will help to alleviate the burden of high medical expenses on the people and ensure that they receive the necessary treatments without any financial burden.
As mentioned earlier, the medical camps will also include the registration of deserving cases for surgeries and medical procedures. This will help to identify individuals who need more extensive medical treatments and provide them with access to quality medical services. Transparent Hands’ mission is to help the underprivileged communities of Pakistan and provide them with access to quality healthcare services. Our efforts in Salanke village are aimed at making a difference in the lives of the people by providing them with free medical services and treatments.

Impact
The free medical camp in Sailkot made a big difference in the lives of 332 deserving patients and their families. Patients who may not have had access to medical care received vital health services and support at the camp. During the camp, patients received comprehensive medical care that was tailored to their specific needs. This included diagnosing and treating a wide range of health problems, as well as providing screening services to help find possible health risks. The medical team at the camp worked tirelessly to ensure that each patient received the best possible care and attention. One of the key services provided at the free medical camp in Sailkot was eye check-ups by eye specialists. This was particularly important for the local community, as many individuals may not have had access to eye care services. Through these eye check-ups, eye specialists were able to identify a range of eye conditions and provide appropriate treatment and care.
In addition to medical services, the camp focused on preventive healthcare sessions to help prevent future illnesses. Patients were given information on preventive measures to stay healthy, prevent disease spread, and manage chronic conditions. Overall, the free medical camp in Sialkot was a huge success, and its impact on the patients' and their families' lives cannot be overstated. It provided much-needed medical care, support, and health education to those who might not have received it otherwise.
Thousands of donors are helping Transparent Hands reach its goal of giving more people access to high-quality healthcare in rural and suburban areas of Pakistan.
